Frances Hesselbein <\/a><\/strong>was a woman born in November 1, 1915 (near the end of World War I<\/a><\/strong>). She was born in an era where women’s right was something that have to be fought for, where the value of the women folks was still tied to home and hearth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If her name is not familiar to you, then the organisation she helped to grow, cultivate and drag into the early 20th century maybe more well known to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

She is the CEO<\/a><\/strong> of the Girl Scouts<\/strong><\/a> during 1977 to 1990. She passed away at the age of 107, in December 11, 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you were to trace her life stories and map her journey, you will find a dark horse<\/a><\/strong>. Someone who according to any old or modern day “wisdom”, should never have been able to reach her level of contributions and reputation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She was described as woman who is content with a simple life, humble yet able to tackle any problem thrown her way (once you can get her committed)<\/em> with zeal and ingenuity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Frances never graudated from college<\/em><\/strong>, but she recieved twenty-three honoarary doctorates, a saber given to her by the U.S. Military Academy for teaching leadership courses, and the U.S. Presidential Medal of Freedom (the highest civilian award in the United States)<\/em>.”
