Jennifer Liu
Summary
Eva Longoria shares that the most important quality she looks for when hiring or partnering with people is the capacity to figure things out, which she values more than formal education like an Ivy League degree. Drawing from her experience on "Desperate Housewives," she learned leadership lessons by observing directors — both good and bad — and rejected the notion that the director is always right.
