(This continues a series of posts sharing insights I gained from this year’s Leadercast event.)

Malala, Leadercast 2015Malala Yousafzai is an impressive young woman. She is a Nobel Laureate (2014). She is the celebrated author of I Am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up For Education And Was Shot By The Taliban. She is the founder of The Malala Fund, dedicated to promoting education for girls around the world.

Malala is wise beyond her sixteen years. There is so much I could write about her. But, in the spirit of the tidbit, here are just a few inspirational quotes from her Leadercast interview on bravery that also apply to us as business and community leaders. I am now reading her book, noted above. I encourage you to do the same.

“It’s people who bring change. Who are you waiting for?”

“Brave are the people who fight for what is right and what is just.”

“Stand up. Speak up.”

What change can you lead?
