Understanding Patience as a Leadership Virtue

Edward Tang is a passionate leader in Chinese youth volunteerism and community engagement. A student at George Mason in Washington, D.C., Edward works with a variety of American and Chinese community organizations. Edward and TI Executive Director Carson Tavenner discuss the necessity of developing patience as a virtue of one’s leadership “tool bag” when trying to accomplish larger purposes. Why do we need patience? What is it like to have it, or not have it, when you need it? How do we develop patience as leaders? Are these answers the same for American and Chinese community leaders alike?
