About this episode

In this episode of Lead With That, Ren and Allison discuss trailblazer and former US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. Widely known for her steadfast political acumen and role in shaping US international relations, Rice is also hailed as a distinguished author, professor, and decision-maker for several organizations and corporations. One thing that stands out about Rice’s leadership is her emphasis on the role of values in leadership, which she believes lead to stronger leaders and cohesive teams. Listen in as Ren and Allison explore what we can learn from Rice’s philosophies on leadership.

This is the 6th episode in our special Lead With That series, “Manager Madness,” where we discuss public figures, real or fictional, who embody leadership through both their actions and ability to inspire others. Our listeners voted in a “Manager Madness” bracket on social media stories to rank which leaders they would want to work with the most. Over several months, Ren and Allison will be chatting about each of them one by one until we reveal the winner.
