Leadership Journey
“So You Think You Can Lead” features a mix of personal anecdotes and experiences of Jed, as well as stories of the organization as he journeys through his “one year to lead” as the president of JCI Lipa.
Like his fellow batchmates in JCI, the year 2020 is proving a unique leadership challenge as the world continues to face the COVID-19 health crisis.
The podcast, currently at four episodes touches on how leaders like Jed cope with this challenge, come up with creative solutions, and seize opportunities to take on lessons from other people’s experiences.
