A Call to Lead

Dana Perino


Listen Later

On this new episode of A Call to Lead, you'll meet Dana Perino. Dana has seen leadership from some very interesting and unique vantage points. She served as the first female White House press secretary in a Republican administration for President George W. Bush. Today, Dana is a bestselling author, mentor, podcast host, anchor of Fox News' The Daily Briefing with Dana Perino, and co-host of Fox News' The Five. In our conversation, Dana shares lessons learned from her career journey including time in one of the most high pressure, public jobs there is: White House Press Secretary. Here are five things that my team and I found particularly insightful:

  1. "I give three pieces of advice to young women: Don't be afraid to move. Find your strong voice. And choosing to be loved is not a career-limiting decision."
  2. "Listening is probably the most important leadership quality that you can have."
  3. "Choosing not to make a decision is a decision. It's not waffling and it's not weak."
  4. To learn from smart bosses, be willing to "take the deputy job or the second-in-charge job."
  5. "Find a way to be grateful every day and to express that gratitude."
