Leadership at the highest levels involves a lot of listening — to constituents, to peers, to other leaders. In today’s conversation, a group of local elected officials (Commissioner Miska Clay Bibbs, Commissioner Mickell Lowery, Memphis Shelby County Schools Board Member Michelle McKissack, Germantown Mayor Mike Palazzolo and Councilman JB Smiley) take to the mics to interview each other about what it looks like to lead in their roles, what drew them to pursue a path to public office, what motivates them to do the work, and what they hope will inspire other leaders to take an active role in the community.
