Have You Found Leadership in the Strangest Places?

The Girl Effect

Thursday, October 8, 2009
I stumbled upon this video thanks to the Made to Stick blog. The message is powerful, concrete, and clear. My takeaway from watching is that by putting the right people into situations where they can lead (i.e., a girl in a male-dominated culture), momentous change can happen.

The part that impacted me the most was the description of the girl gaining respect, getting into the leadership circle of the village, and once inside, convincing the males that girls can be extraordinary contributors and leaders as well.
