Cooperation, Leadership, & Empathy: George Papandreou’s Path for Meeting Challenges

Season 2 Episode 51

Guest: George Papandreou, Former Prime Minister of Greece

Do you want to lead like an Olympian…or a gladiator?

The Olympics were founded by the ancient Greeks as a model for collaboration and cooperation, developing a city-state’s Olympians to their highest potential. That dovetails with the mission of today’s best leaders – and Greece’s former prime minister, George Papandreou, shares why that Olympic vision is all the more important now. As he shares with host Maureen Metcalf, it’s the key to solving so many of today’s global issues: from refugees to climate change. The first step: figuring out our common values, then building on them to work together across borders.
