Roselinde Torres talks about what it takes to be a great leader in the 21st century. Are you re-evaluating your strategies? What worked for you before might not work for you in the future.

Think about these three questions as you re-evaluate your growth as a leader.
In this TED talk, Carla Harris emphasizes the importance of having a sponsor who will be speaking for you in important meetings, behind closed doors, promoting your skills and accomplishments. Make sure to focus on your performance and your relationships to grow your career.
