Newsom Will Face new Leadership Challenges if he Survives Today’s Recall Election

Ann Skeet, senior director of leadership ethics, quoted by Forbes.

Santa Clara University’s Skeet said the California recall election, “demonstrates how lost trust in leadership distracts from reaching long-term goals. If California wants to continue to see itself and be a leader in critical areas, such as climate change, it needs to focus.

“Both the leader and the followers need to exercise some discipline and keep the really pressing issues of the day here in California at the forefront: public education that works for all, bridging the digital divide, shoring up ancient infrastructure, and thinking about how we share the earth more thoughtfully."
