#LeadershipTuesdays: Have Confidence…Rosalynn Carter

“If you doubt you can accomplish something, then you can't accomplish it. You have to have confidence in your ability, and then be tough enough to follow through.”

—Rosalynn Carter

On Tuesdays, womenatliberty.com presents #LeadershipTuesdays, a platform for a variety of voices and resources to develop, encourage and strengthen women leaders. Today we feature a practical quote on confidence from former First Lady Rosalynn Carter and a resource written by leadership expert and motivational speaker, Brian Tracy.

The article, “How to Be a Confident Leader in Uncertain Situations”, provides helpful insight how you can build self confidence and make better decisions for yourself and your team. One thing that you have to be comfortable with is that you do not know everything and you will make mistakes sometimes. Everybody does. What is important is that you can admit your failures and move forward.

Lastly, I was thinking about this just yesterday. One of the most important things you can do and also teach your children is this: know what your values are and then live a life that is consistent with your values. Your values are the foundation for your entire life. Consistently living your values builds confidence and makes you a better leader.

#LeadershipTuesdays: What Are You Creating?...Maxine Hong Kingston

“In a time of destruction, create something.”

—Maxine Hong Kingston

On Tuesdays, womenatliberty.com presents #LeadershipTuesdays, a platform for a variety of voices and resources to develop, encourage and strengthen women leaders. Today, in honor of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, we are celebrating the history and culture of Asian Americans with this wonderful quote by author Maxine Hong Kingston. 

Kingston was born to Chinese immigrant parents in Stockton, California in 1940 and graduated from the University of California, Berkeley. A long-time member of the Berkeley faculty, she is currently Senior Lecturer for Creative Writing. Her nonfiction books include The Woman Warrior, which won the National Book Critics Circle Award for Nonfiction, China Men, which was awarded the National Book Award in 1981. 

Her quote reminds us that although we are faced with challenges and destructive forces that try to destroy our souls, we must not dwell in places of negativity and darkness. Get up and go toward positivity. Dwell with those who are uplifting and empowering people, building foundations for equity and equality, and creating new pathways for all to succeed. For more information on #LeadershipTuesdays, check us out and follow us on Twitter: @LeadershipTues.

The Power of Bringing People Together...Lisa Su

“What you can do as a single person is great. But what you can do when you can bring ten smart people together or 100 smart people together, or 10,000 smart people together aligned on a vision, it’s just incredible.”

—Lisa Su, PhD, Chief Executive Officer, AMD

Every other Tuesday, womenatliberty.com provides a platform for a variety of voices and resources to develop, encourage, and strengthen women leaders. Today as a part of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, we are highlighting Lisa Su, President and CEO of Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) in Silicon Valley.

Su became CEO in October 2014 and turned around a failing company. This MIT PhD who was born in Taiwan and raised in the Bronx, New York is an electrical engineer who became fascinated with making products. Her leadership has brought back AMD from the “brink of bankruptcy”.

Last year she spoke extensively with Gary Shapiro, President and CEO of Consumer Technology Association (CTA) and board member of the Northern Virginia Technology Council (NVTC), in a ‘Masters of Leadership’ discussion. They discussed the future of AMD’s business, recent U.S. government sanctions against China which affect AMD’s business operations, and the issues of race and inequality in America that the death of George Floyd (caught on video), while being arrested by police, made apparent for all Americans. Public backlash resulted in mass protests in American cities.
