In this episode, we discuss how to lead diverse organizations with the mindset of a co-conspirator. Ella is joined by her friend Mary Kay Henry, president of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and the first woman to lead the two-million-member organization. Ella and Mary Kay go deep into Mary Kay’s unique leadership journey, and how important it is to be a “multilingual” leader.
