[Archive Interview from Jan 18, 2024]Anthony Foxx knows the power of someone believing in you. “Like many kids I needed to hear, and heard often, that there was something special about me. And I started to believe that.” Mr. Foxx is currently a Professor of the Practice of Public Leadership at the Harvard Kennedy School. Before that, he served as the 54th Mayor of the city of Charlotte and was the city’s youngest mayor in history. He then moved on to serve as the 17th U.S. Secretary of Transportation under the Obama administration.  This week on HOW Conversations, Mr. Foxx spoke with Dana Born, Distinguished Fellow at The HOW Institute, about creating a wave of empowering those around you. “If you are someone who works with me, you’re also a leader.”  READY TO START YOUR MORAL LEADERSHIP JOURNEY?
