In this Authority Magazine interview, Hootology Founder Stefanie Francis dismantles the myth of "imposter syndrome," makes a surprisingly compelling case that women are actually the less emotional ones in the room, and shares the story of turning down a career-saving contract because the logo on the business card said Northrup Grumman. It's part business philosophy, part origin story, entirely her; the kind of read that makes you want to rethink what great leadership actually looks like.
