In 2011, the Dalai Lama stepped down as political leader of the Tibetan exile government. For the first time ever, the Tibetan community democratically elected a new political leader: Mr. Lobsang Sangay. He served two terms as Sikyong (President) from 2011-2021. As Sikyong, Mr. Sangay traveled the world on behalf of the exile government and the Dalai Lama. In his talk at CU, he shares these experiences, asking what makes a good leader.
