Some leadership lessons are complex. Others are remarkably simple. In my just-published Community Catalysts podcast interview with Ian Coyle, former Chief Administrative Officer of Livingston County, NY, and now President of Pracademic Partners, one lesson stands out: great leaders double down.
Ilryong Moon came to the United States from Korea at 17. He didn’t speak much English. His family had little money. His parents, both undereducated, worked long hours to support their children in a new and unfamiliar country. Ilryong repeated a year of high school just to learn the language. From there, he went on to graduate from Harvard, build a successful law career, and eventually serve for decades on the school board of one of the nation’s largest—and most diverse—school districts.

Here’s what they shared.
