“We look back to history to know that the times of tumult will pass, but we also have to move through them in really productive ways…to put things in historical perspective, but also to put things into perspective by helping people take a long-term view.” That’s according to Penny Pennington, Managing Partner of Edward Jones, in an interview with Dr. Lori Esposito Murray of the Committee for Economic Development, the public policy center of The Conference Board (CED).
This CED discussion series, Leadership in Challenging Times, interviews business leaders about the unprecedented challenges facing the nation and how they are helping chart a path forward for both their companies and communities in which they operate. In this thought-provoking discussion, Penny Pennington discusses with Dr. Murray the leadership qualities that are needed in these challenging times, what history tells us and what the CEO’s role requires in the public sphere.
