Leadership Languages as Multilingual Communication

In this podcast episode, Rosita Najmi, Vice President of the UPS Foundation, discusses the concept of being a multilingual leader. She emphasizes that being a successful leader means speaking the languages of different sectors, such as corporate, nonprofit, philanthropic, and public policy. Najmi highlights the importance of adapting and personalizing leadership styles to fit the needs of each situation and community. She shares insights from a study on impact investing funds, which found that multilingual leaders who communicate across different perspectives are more successful. Najmi encourages leaders to focus on developing their leadership languages rather than fixating on a specific leadership style.
