A Leadership Title Means Little Without Action
In this episode of Because People Matter, Dr. Helen Fagan sits down with Dell Nared Jr., Chief Workforce Excellence Officer at the Greater Omaha Chamber, to explore his leadership journey and the action and impact he is making across Omaha and Nebraska.
Dell shares how proximity to great leaders accelerated his growth, how asking better questions has shaped his career, and how mentors provided advice, access, and context that expanded what he believed was possible.
That journey continues to influence how Dell leads today. Through his work at the Greater Omaha Chamber, Melanin Market Omaha, and Meraki Montessori Toys, he is creating opportunities, strengthening community, increasing representation, and helping others imagine what they can build for themselves and the people around them.
One question captures the purpose behind so much of his work: “If the world was to look different in five years, what would have been your part in it?”
This episode is a meaningful conversation about leadership, mentorship, belonging, community, and using your influence to create lasting impact.
