The importance of good leadership has never felt or been so significant. In a profoundly complicated and dire moment for humanity, we citizens of the world have had to lean on our various leaders to guide and decide much of our futures. We've seen more and more examples of the best and worst of them - those who lead by example with integrity, honesty, and vision, and those who attempt to dominate, manipulate, or simply avoid responsibility. It's in this moment of high stakes and intense reflection that we naturally take note of what good leadership actually looks like. To dive into this important topic, Minji invites back a FOA favorite, Boba Guys' co-founder Andrew Chau. As an entrepreneur, small business owner and advocate, Andrew shares her passion for understanding and sharing what good leaders are made of. Together they share stories of their own development, good decisions and bad, rising to many a difficult occasion, and their respective interpretations of what a quality leader is. Andrew reflects on speaking in front of Congress on behalf of all small business owners, and the two discuss the evolving state of Asian America's bamboo ceiling and internally conflicted narrative.
