Building Better Leaders

Reader,

My recent conversation with Bryndis Whitson on the Zebras to Apples podcast allowed me to reflect on my experiences in disaster response and the leadership lessons I’ve learned along the way. While our discussion focused on the logistics of emergency preparedness, the insights we shared have broader implications for leadership in any context.

Key takeaways from our conversation include:

  • The critical importance of understanding the systems and processes you’re responsible for leading
  • The power of empathy and human connection, and,
  • The need for adaptability and resilience.

Please remember to be kind to yourself.

And, if you can, please be kind to someone else.
