It’s hard for leaders to challenge the status quo.

It takes authenticity, risk, and a thick skin — and it can be even harder to drive innovation in government leadership.

On this episode, I interview Cathilea Robinett, President of e.Republic:

What we talked about:

• 7 identifiers of innovation in state and local government
• Why authenticity, integrity, and fearlessness are necessary in government leadership
• Leaders who protect the status quo vs. challenge the status quo
• 3 leadership qualities in public service

Check out these resources we mentioned during the podcast:

• In the Arena, Cathilea’s podcast
• Women in Government Leadership Program
