Episode: Latin America and Leadership with Rocky Zapata
Description: Family, Food, Faith, Community and Connections. These are the primary values of Latin America that enable people to manage daily life in spite of massive corruption, top-down business culture, and dictatorial or autocratic but democratic-appearing governments. While people emulate US leadership styles, safety standards, finance standards and checks and balances, the reality on the ground is quite different. Miami-based Rocky Zapata who owns three businesses (leadership training, safety training, and tourist yacht trips) explores the changing role of working women, the appeal of cheap labor to draw inbound investment, and some amusing differences in Spanish between countries.Â
