Show Notes

Leading well is critical -- especially during the challenging times in which we find ourselves these days. That's why I think my recent conversation with Bobby Lewis, Executive Vice President of Operations at Love Worth Finding is so important. 

According to Bobby, great leaders:

  1. Are lifelong learners who focus on adding knowledge and skills regularly
  2. Lead THROUGH others rather than trying to do everything themselves
  3. Invest in mentoring others so that skill-building becomes an ingrained focus across organizations
  4. Develop deep, meaningful relationships with those they mentor, rather than trying to rush the process
  5. Lead through collaboration and consensus-building instead of dictating
  6. Embrace the power of relationships rather than focusing on authority-based leadership
  7. Get close to people -- staff, donors, and clients -- in times of crisis, rather than pulling away
  8. Build trust by investing in people and relationships

There's some real leadership gold in this episode. You don't want to miss it!
