| In 2003, like many other higher education institutions, Ohio State University started implementing cost recovery strategies for many of its programs. The Ohio State Leadership Center for the first time since being created in 1990 within the Department of OSU Extension, faced the challenge of bringing more dollars into the program.
Initially, Fran Kick consulted on-site for three days to research and share ideas which would help strategically grow various areas of their program offerings to the markets they serve. In addition to exploring future curriculum modules and brainstorming program ideas, a number of potential product ideas were sketched out for the Leadership Center to produce. The first of which was a "lessons in leadership" video focusing on Coach Jim Tressel and the Ohio State Buckeyes. A draft outline for the video was written right then and there with Garee Earnest, Program Leader and Beth Flynn, Leadership Education Extension Associate.
