Rebuilders

Michelle Nunn saw U2 at a LiveAid Concert in 1985 and that inspired the belief in her that collective action could help change the world. Sometimes it starts that way. And today she is working on poverty all over the USA.

As with many of our most effective Rebuilders, Kathy Calvin truly immersed herself in all three sectors and became a stronger leader for it. Along that journey, including the United Nations Foundation, she "learned" important lessons that can inform your leadership beliefs.

Richard Woo thinks about leadership as deeply as anyone I've ever known. You may have to playback some of his thoughts two or three times but it's worth every minute as he helps you explore the kind of leader America needs you to be in the 2020s.

David Risher had a phenomenal professional career, crossing paths with Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates, among others. His whole life journey has prepared him for the decade and provides each of us with critical ideas that can make us better leaders.

We live in a fundamentally different America than we did at the turn of the millennium. It is an increasingly uneven, siloed America. Those dynamics are being accelerated and amplified by tech, media, and Covid. As has always been and always will be the case, these times call for a new kind of leadership.

What I was beginning to believe in early 2020 has become increasingly urgent with every passing day.
