Summary

Connie Chung, the iconic journalist, anchor, author, and leader, has had an incredibly accomplished and groundbreaking career. As the first woman to co-anchor the CBS Evening News and the first Asian to co-anchor any news program in the U.S., Chung describes her tenacious journey into journalism, starting as a newsroom secretary and then fighting her way up to become a respected reporter. Over her storied career, Chung covered major events like the Watergate scandal and interviewed influential figures like Vice President Nelson Rockefeller. She says she always aimed to be authentic, respectful, and bold - qualities she believes can help women and minorities achieve more parity in leadership roles. Inclusive Leadership: Three Keys to Build an Authentic, High-Trust Organizational Culture: Our free guide outlines practical steps leaders can take to lead more inclusively and create a high-trust environment where everyone feels safe to contribute their best ideas and efforts.
