As the U.S. presidential election draws near, business leaders are starting to come out for Vice President Kamala Harris or former President Donald Trump. But for one former CEO turned leadership expert, the candidate he wants to talk about most is on the bottom half of the ticket: Democratic VP candidate Tim Walz.
Bill George is an executive fellow at Harvard Business School and former CEO of medical device company Medtronic, a Fortune 500 Europe company. His most recent book is True North: Emerging Leader Edition. It examines how emerging leaders can discover their “True North”―who they are―and then find their “North Star” or leadership philosophy. George, who has lived since 1970 in Minnesota where Walz is the governor, has applied his leadership lens to the VP candidate.
