About the Speaker:

Harsh Verma argues that recent critiques of the gender bias in heroic models of leadership reflect Western, and in particular North American, cultural experiences. Drawing on Hindu mythology, he describes three feminine heroic figures, the unique leadership style exemplified by each, and the lessons about effective leadership that can be drawn from their stories .
