Sue Desmond-Hellmann: Helping People Find Their Sweet Spot
Keywords:
Sue Desmond-Hellmann, CEO of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, describes her growing up experiences in Reno, Nevada, seeing her father help people struggling with some problem as he ran a drug store in the town. This has influenced her own style of managing people, showing care in teaching people so that they can operate in their sweet spot without fear of being overwhelmed by too big a challenge. The ability to bring out the best in a person who is struggling, is one of the things she looks for in people she hires. Innovation, failure, resilience, and the humility that brings care and respect for others, are other things she looks for.

Desmond-Hellmann, a physician by training, grew up in Reno, Nevada. She talks to Adam Bryant about innovation, failure and resilience, and respect for others, how one deals with a person who is struggling so as to bring out the best in that person, as what she looks for in hiring interviews. Her response in meetings where she hears a faint quiver in a voice is to try and dispel any fear in that person from speaking to the CEO directly. Some of this goes back to seeing her father run a drug store in Reno and showing caring for people who needed help. In meeting her own challenges she looks at what kind of a person she needs to be and tries to be that kind of a person.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
