Entrepreneurial Literature
DuRoss’ favorite book is “To Kill a Mockingbird.” She credits the novel for giving her the first narrative to help understand social justice “in a living and breathing way”.
There’s an old saying about how important listening is for leadership. I had always thought of myself as a very good and active listener. But it was only after I got into this role, that I really understood how important a different level of active listening is as a skill.
