It’s not policies on climate change, pandemics or inequality that will make the difference to our societies, but having those in authority lead and make decisions based on how those decisions impact people. Veronica Lysaght advocates for leading with humanity, saying you each have a responsibility to act with compassion and kindness in whatever work you do.
