Under A Bronx Bridge with Ruth Messinger
Manage episode 344736997 series 3386515
Exercising leadership to drive systemic change is a long term game. It requires a deep understanding of how things work on the ground and how the people themselves perceive the issues that you, the leader, has to make decisions on. This is what Ruth Messinger learned during a teachable moment she had under the Brooklyn Bridge in New York. Whether it’s in her 20 years of local government service in New York City, or her international work in countries like South Africa, India, and Cambodia, Ruth has always been about understanding issues at the grassroots level so she can make decisions that truly impact the people in a positive way. Join us in this conversation as Ruth shares her insights on leadership and why leaders should always meet people where they are on the ground so they can make their impact count.
