#160 - Modern Leadership: We Need Communication, Transparency, and Empathy...NOW

Less than half a year into 2020, we've experienced global, tectonic shifts that are still being felt now. It's time for modern leadership.

Common attributes of leadership, such as assertiveness and charisma, are simply no longer enough in the current climate. As society becomes more connected and multi-faceted, our leaders must evolve as well.

Communication, transparency, and empathy. Geoffrey Woo, founder of H.V.M.N., strongly believes these are traits essential for effective leadership. A leader that listens, a leader that unites. This is an element that has largely been lacking during these times of crises...this is what must be fixed.

The H.V.M.N. Podcast will be donating all of the ad revenue we receive during the month of June to Talent x Opportunity (TxO) fund, a fund designed to invest in underrepresented and underserved founders. We hope that the leaders of the next generation will build a healthy future for all of humanity.
