EILEEN LOOBY WEBER

Sr2023 10 018 Weber01

EILEEN LOOBY WEBER has experienced the joy flowers bring to others since she was a young child. Her father, John Looby III, has owned Lake Forest Flowers since 1981. The Lake Forest native joined her father as his partner after earning a degree in horticultural production and marketing from Purdue University, followed by an MBA from Lake Forest Graduate School of Management, continuing the family legacy. She continues to share her passion for flowers through a life of service, including serving as 4th Ward Alderman in Lake Forest.

What does the idea of power mean to you? Flowers are powerful … they evoke feelings of joy and happiness and serve as symbols of love, faith, hope, purity, and growth.

How should women support other women? I strive to brighten people’s days through flowers. But really, even a text message to let a friend know you’re thinking about them, or commenting on another woman’s Instagram post can help to brighten their day.

What has been the most significant barrier in your career and how have you persevered? Finding more hours in the day! It’s very difficult to balance all that I want to accomplish. Support of family allows me to continue giving back.

What is the most important characteristic of an effective leader? No matter how educated, talented, wealthy, or cool you believe you are, how you treat people ultimately tells all. Integrity is everything.

What meaningful lesson did you learn in your first job? You are never too good for any job. I can sweep the floors, take out the trash, clean the bathroom, and wash buckets just like everyone else.

Who is your role model and why? My parents taught me a tremendous work ethic and to follow through with commitments.

How can this generation of leaders support the next generation of leaders? Lead by example, respect conflicting views, and pray.
