Leadership qualities tech entrepreneurs can learn from Kamala Harris
Kamala Harris has inspired millions by making history and to say she faced significant systemic barriers would be an understatement. Unlike high-growth entrepreneurs, her achievements result from perseverance, grit, unhinged vision, determination, and the ability to pivot. Here are entrepreneurial outtakes from Harris’ life, which can genuinely help entrepreneurs in their journey.
Strive hard to achieve your goal
Harris set her eyes on goals that once would’ve been deemed out of reach. However, she persevered through difficulties to achieve her set goals and this was achieved via relentless hard work. Harris studied economics and political science at Howard University, giving her the baseline mindset of an entrepreneur.
Remember your roots and be proud of it
The only way to move forward is to accept yourself. Kamala embodies this phrase with her refreshing quality of embracing her roots and grounded approach to life. Despite being the most powerful woman in the US, the Vice President-elect always remembers where she came from.
Don’t let people decide what you’re capable of doing
Kamala has proved that confidence and grit go a long way when you’re striving for the impossible. Back in 2019, she told the Washington Post, ‘I’m who I am. I am good with it. You might need to figure it out, but I’m fine with it.’ There are few things as empowering and important than accepting yourself.
