What can we learn from the leadership example of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky?
When was elected President of Ukraine in 2019, a lot of people thought it was a joke. Zelensky was an actor and comedian with no political experience. He had come to national prominence as the producer and star of hit satirical television series Servant of the People, playing an ordinary high school teacher who accidentally becomes Ukrainian president after a video of him condemning government corruption goes viral. Zelensky also set up his grassroots party called Servant of the People. Despite his landslide election win, his critics still see him as a political punchline.
But no one’s laughing now.
