In late January, I moderated a panel at Rob Pasick’s Leaders Connect on environmental leadership. The panelists included
Each of the speakers shared about their journey to their current leadership positions, their philosophy of leadership, and advice for aspiring leaders. The audience also asked good questions about community involvement and the future and current impact of AI/ML on environmental solutions.
Here’s Rob’s overview of the leadership in the environmental sector panel.
Lean into what you’re good at and don’t pretend you’re going to be good at everything. Be humble in recognizing where you need to bring in smart people to be part of your team and trust them, give them responsibility that they can own and run with.

If you’re a young leader, really spend some time learning how to write. If you can pair your scientific expertise, or your very technical expertise, or your legal or policy expertise with that abiliy to write you really can change the world.

We’re all on a lifelong journey of figuring out why we’re on the planet, what we’re supposed to do, what we’re passionate about, [and] how does that fit with what needs are in the world. And I think it is about constructing for yourself a lot of experiments: ways of trying different things that gradually lead you to that union between who you are and what you’re about, why you’re here, and some pressing issue in the world that needs to be solved.
