This episode features a conversation with Hector Mujica, Head of Economic Opportunity for Google.Org. It’s a co-facilitated by Brendan Chan, a doctoral student at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. The gem we’re keeping with us for the road is two-fold; Hector actively seeks out experiences and viewpoints that challenge his own, whether through reading diverse authors, engaging with think tanks of different political leanings, or serving on community boards. This approach, rooted in his immigrant family background that emphasized community service, allows him to continually learn and grow as a leader. Hector emphasizes the importance of adaptability, empathy, and awareness in leadership, while also reframing feedback and conflict as opportunities for growth.
