Episode Notes

Some insights on leadership:

• Great leaders have extended trust before just demanding trust
• It's not about old versus new – it's about everyone getting better together
• Conflict has always been a part of relationships, but we are going to have to become more mature about handling more conflict in better ways
  • 4 A's – Affirm, Ask, Acknowledge, Advise

• Flexibility and convenience
  • Ex: before setting a meeting, consider what type of meeting you want it to be and what you want to accomplish
  • Being intentional about scheduling things with leaders/volunteers without requiring them to be somewhere (think digital)
• Vulnerability
  • Being able to say “I don't know”
  • Accept that other people may know more than you and be open to feedback
