Leadership Principles for Life, Business, Military and More with Robert A. McDonald

In today’s episode, The Mentors Radio Host Dan Hesse talks with Robert (Bob) McDonald, former U.S. Secretary of Veterans Affairs, remarkable former Chairman, President and CEO of The Proctor & Gamble Company, and a U.S. Army Veteran who served with distinction in the 82nd Airborne Division.

Few have been trained in leadership at an elite military academy such as West Point and then applied and evolved their leadership skills throughout their careers across the “grand slam” of organization structures: Military, government, Non-Governmental Organization (NGO), and the private sector as has today’s guest mentor, Robert A. (Bob) McDonald.

Bob was nominated by President Obama to serve as the eighth Secretary of Veterans Affairs (VA) where he led the VA and its roughly 400,000 employees on an ambitious transformational journey to become a world-class service provider and the No. 1 customer-service agency in the Federal government to give Veterans consistent, high-quality experiences.
Before joining the VA, Bob was Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer of one of the world’s largest companies, Procter & Gamble (P&G). During his tenure, P&G was widely recognized for its leader development prowess, with Chief Executive Magazine naming P&G the best company for developing leader talent.

Red Cross CEO Gail McGovern and Her Journey to Purpose

In this episode, Dan Hesse talks with Gail McGovern, president and CEO of the American Red Cross. An outstanding leader, with one of the most distinguished and eclectic careers imaginable, McGovern rose from being a programmer at AT&T to becoming president of AT&T’s Business Markets group and, later, president of the Consumer Markets group—the communication giant’s two largest business units. McGovern left AT&T at the top of her game to become President of Personal Investments at Fidelity, and then went across town to become a Professor at the Harvard Business School.

But McGovern finally found her purpose in 2008, when she joined the American Red Cross as its CEO, a position she still holds today. During her tenure, Gail has overseen the American Red Cross response to multiple high-profile disasters across the country and around the world, including Hurricanes Sandy, Harvey, Irma and Maria, as well as the multitude of tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, wildfires and other disasters that affect our country each year.
