Charismatic Leader Conversation with Richard Tedlow: Mary Kay Ash

Acclaimed business historian and Harvard Business School Emeritus Professor Richard Tedlow joins me to discuss the life and career of Mary Kay Ash, one of the most famous women entrepreneurs of the 20th Century.  We discuss the Mary Kay's powerhouse charisma, and how it enabled her to build her eponymous business by enabling other women to become entrepreneurs in a society where they weren't supposed to participate in the traditional workplace.  As with Sam Walton, we discuss a specific video of Mary Kay Ash appearing on 60 Minutes, which is linked to below, along with some other interesting videos: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Kay_Ash https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrWz_MzKAMk (Mary Kay on 60 Minutes) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMu5hS7E2Jw (Mary Kay wins the Horatio Alger award in 1978, accepting it from Norman Vincent Peale) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8iG_WEsW6I (Mary Kay’s estate) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYPdIFUz_zo (Mary Kay’s top seller, 2017) --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/chris-yeh-podcast/support
