Viking Magazine - March 2016 - 21

In your opinion, what makes
a great leader?
Giving people responsibility,
and allowing them to make
mistakes.
What qualities are key in
order to lead?
I do leadership training, and
what I experience is that
people are afraid to show they
aren't skilled in every subject.
I think what's most important
for a leader is to be honest,
and to delegate. I think great
leaders show who they are
- their strengths and their
weaknesses. And they involve
other people.
Who has been inspirational
in your life?
My mother. She is not very
common. I was born in 1953,
and when I was young, all
my friends' mothers were at
home cooking on Sundays.
My mother was out skiing. She
loved skiing. And I take after
her in that way. My father and
the whole family accepted that.
I think it's important to speak
up for the things you really like
in your life.
Looking to the future, what
are a few of your goals?
The biggest is the project
I have together with Ann
Bancroft. Our focus is access
to fresh water. We launched
the Access Water series [in
October 2015] in the Ganges
in India, and we will have one
expedition every few years on
each continent. That means
the last expedition will be in
11 years in Antarctica and the
South Pole. I think I will be 73
years old at that time!
Human Rights Champion: Gro Harlem Brundtland
Known affectionately by Norwegians as Landsmoderen, or Mother of the Nation, Gro
Harlem Brundtland has affected positive change around the world through her work in
politics, public health and environmental policy. While many know her as Norway's fi rst

and scientist in the Norwegian
public health system.
* As Director-General of the World
Health Organization from 1998
to 2003, she worked to increase
access to life-saving drugs.
Environment
* As Norway's Environmental Minister
from 1974 to 1979, Brundtland used
her health knowledge to help with
environmental issues.
* She worked for sustainable development
as Chair of the World Commission of
Environment and Development (known
as the Brundtland Commission) from
1983 to 1987.
* Brundtland was Special Envoy of the
United Nations Secretary-General on
Climate Change from 2007 to 2010.
Politics
* At age 41, Brundtland was
appointed Prime Minister of
Norway.

person and the fi rst woman to
hold the offi ce.
