Former Mayor of Boston and U.S. Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh joins us for a discussion on leadership and the future of work. Drawing on his experience leading a major American city through economic growth, social change, and an unprecedented global pandemic—as well as shaping national labor policy—Walsh will share insights on what it takes to lead in moments of uncertainty and transformation.
