Description

The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies is powered by 17 million volunteers in 191 counties.. At its helm is Jagan Chapagain, a man who started himself at the organization as a teenaged volunteer in Nepal, wanting to do good. He returned after college and has been with the organization ever since, eventually serving in a number of leadership roles until he was appointed to his current position of chief executive officer and secretary general in February 2020. In this wide-ranging conversation, he sets the stage for humanitarian challenges the world faces, as well as how the IFRC is developing solutions to prevent the next crisis from occurring. He'll also share a first-of-its-kind for the humanitarian sector -- an  insurance solution that can transform disaster preparedness and resilience. But he'll also share what any organization can learn from the IFRC on engaging and motivating teams -- and the simple lessons any leader can keep in mind.
