Leadership in Action | Episode 3 | George Papandreou on the Euro Crisis in Greece

COVID-19 may well be the greatest challenge the world has faced since World War II. The virus has confirmed fears that world leaders would be unable to respond to a global crisis of this magnitude in a collaborative and effective way. With that in mind, it is now more important than ever to provide lessons learned and concrete policy recommendations to global leaders that strengthen the resilience of the international system.  Combining the expertise of former Foreign Ministers of the Aspen Ministers Forum with the research and multimedia tools of the Bertelsmann Foundation, the Leadership in Action series provides an innovative and dynamic visual platform to explore select ministers’ experiences leading in times of crisis and shares their leadership insights gained on the front lines of world politics. In this episode, former Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou takes us back to 2009, when Greece was on the brink of economic collapse in the midst of the European debt crisis. This is a story about sacrifice, difficult choices, and national resilience against imposing odds. Papandreou's account of this volatile period in Greek history goes beyond the day-to-day management of an existential threat to his country. This episode also provides a master class in problem-solving, defending painful choices, and the value of honesty and transparency in government service, even if it means losing an election.
