Helping women get fair pay: Meggie Palmer

For me, leadership is about having a vision

and taking steps towards a vision for the greater good.

Don't be scared of leadership, right?

Step into it. Step into leadership at home,

among your friendship group, among your community.

If you see a gap, if you see a challenge that you...

that you think should be solved, go ahead and create that change.

You know, it's an exciting time to be a leader

and we're seeing, you know, Greta Thunberg

and so many people around the world,

who are super young, having a huge impact on the world.

It can be scary and it can be overwhelming,

in particular sometimes – what will people think of me as leader?

Will they judge me? That's something that I've...

I've struggled with, but what I would say

to anyone considering a role in leadership is:

move through that and step into it

because great things will happen if you do.

Leaders shouldn't be bullies.

And I think I've observed throughout my career

and even, you know, in global politics,

sometimes leaders behave like bullies

and that's not how you get the best or the most sustainable change.

I think as a leader, it's important to take people with you.

I think the biggest challenge for any leader

is making sure that you're staying true to your values

and that you're not veering off course.

So, I think it's crucial to have people around you,

who will be honest.
