EP1. Leading With Courage With Kate Gilmore

“If you know you are not made for daring, please don’t dare lead.” In our first episode, Kate takes us through the very important topic of ethical or principled leadership. We explore the definition of “daring” leadership, a combination of moral courage and inner strength, qualities on which the exercise of ethical or principled leadership depends. Kate Gilmore is Professor-in-Practice at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) and Honorary Professor at the University of Essex. She also is the Chairperson of the Board of International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF), and Vice Chair of the Interpeace Board. She previously held the positions of United Nations Deputy High Commissioner for Human Rights and Assistant Secretary General and Deputy Executive Director of the UN Population Fund.
