Melissa Grant: Leadership is fundamentally about reducing uncertainty for your team. When people know the company is protected — legally, financially, operationally — they can focus on doing their best work.
Host: How do you think about risk as a leader?
Melissa: Risk management is leadership. You can't separate them. The best leaders I know are obsessive about understanding their exposures and making sure they're covered.
