Colin Powell

Truly human leadership protects an organization from the internal rivalries that can shatter a culture. When we have to protect ourselves from each other, the whole organization suffers.

I've been a medical and public health professional as well as a mother. I became skilled at juggling a number of priorities and competing interests.
