Follow Your North Star: Leading with Integrity

This week we're excited to host Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, the 49th Mayor of Baltimore and current Chair of Airbnb's Housing Council, as she shares valuable insights. As the first and only African American woman to serve as president of the U.S. Conference of Mayors, Stephanie discusses the changing dynamics of political communication and the importance of authentic leadership. Reflecting on her tenure as mayor, she highlights the achievements in crime reduction and economic revival.

Stephanie's leadership extends to her role as the Executive Director of the NBPA Foundation, where she transformed player engagement and philanthropy. The conversation explores topics such as the promise of Gen Z, the necessity of a genuine inner circle for leaders, and the balance between transactional and transformational leadership.
