The Life and Leadership of Janet Yellen with the WSJ’s Jon Hilsenrath

In his new book, “Yellen: The Trailblazing Economist Who Navigated an Era of Upheaval,” Jon Hilsenrath of the Wall Street Journal provides an intimate look into the personal life and career of the U.S. treasury secretary. In this episode, Jan interviews the author and finds inspiration in Yellen’s humanizing approach to her work and her unconventional leadership style. “This is a story of the economic backdrop of the last 60 years,” says Jon, “which has been such a major influence on the business cycle for the auto sector.” The parallels between Yellen’s career and the current challenges facing automotive industry leaders make her story a fascinating case study of leading with gravitas.
