This month we’ve been covering stories about fearless
leadership and perhaps like you have been intrigued by the political landscape this month and seeing Kamala Harris emerge as what one can only describe as fearless. So I dug in and found some sources that can help us elements of her leadership that we’ve been covering on the show.
Topics Covered:
Early inspirations
Competition
Determination
Resilience
Networking
Empathy
Here are three takeaways from the episode:
1. Kamala Harris is breaking the mold for women when it comes to leadership. Her early foundation (mother-inspired, Berkeley in the 60s) set her on a course to be an advocate, empathy, and insights into politics.
2. Kamala has designed her own way (blended family, Presidential run in 2020) and is an
example of learning from failure and demonstrating resilience.
3. One of Kamala’s greatest strengths are her
people skills: networking, building influence and creating alliances.
