Betsy Myers (Leadership author, consultant, and former White House advisor) offers her insights into leadership with a focus on women and leadership, public service leadership, and her mentor Warren Bennis. She also reveals why she agreed to serve on ILA’s Board and how the leadership community at the ILA Global Conference recharges her each year.
Here’s what Betsy and Maureen cover:
- The key leadership traits that make a great leader, according to Warren Bennis’ findings;
- Why leading is just like being a parent: What you do is more important than what you say; and
- The role of Tall Poppy Syndrome in keeping women out of the C-suite.
Quotes
“To recharge, I try to talk to friends of mine who are in this business… that’s why the International Leadership Association is so important. It’s a home of colleagues and other people – both academics and thought leaders alongside people in the corporate world like me – who are out there working on these issues. It’s so important to hear from colleagues and ask: What are you seeing? What’s the new research? You’ve got to keep up on it. I find that really fun. So community – leadership community is one way I recharge.”
