Innovation and leadership expert Gina Scott Ligon has said that Zelensky’s casual appearance while speaking on video calls should be the norm for world leaders, MarketWatch reported. In the NPR program “On Point,” Ligon stated that currently when people relate to authority figures, “There’s a lack of trust, and there’s a hunger for authenticity.”
Ligon is also the director of the National Counterterrorism Innovation, Technology and Education Center at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. She noted that the simple shirt contrasted with a government building in the background helps make Zelensky “the anti-hero and the anti-government hero.”
