The Legend

She inherited a stagnating economy and an organization built to resist her, and pushed through reforms few thought possible — at high political cost and with a clarity of will that made her admired and despised in equal measure. She is the counselor for the operator who must drive an unpopular but necessary change through internal resistance.
