Empowerment is key to any young leader's success. We asked eight Gen.T honourees from Indonesia to tell us what the word means to them. Watch the video to see what they had to say

This summer, we unveiled the 400 honourees on the Gen.T List 2019 at launch events across Asia. 

Before meeting many of them for the first time, we identified a list of commonalities that ties these leaders from diverse industries together. Whether an entrepreneur, a politician or a top chef, we surmised, you need grit, you must have impact, you need to be confident, and so on. 

We took these words and asked the honourees to define them for us in our new series, Two-Minute Dictionary

Previously it was grit, innovation, peak, impact, and confidence and now we're defining empowerment. We asked eight Indonesia-based honourees from the Gen.T List 2019 to tell us what the word means to them. Watch the video to see what they had to say.
