158: Leaders with Heart are Committed to Doing Better

In this episode, Heather interviews Lindy Eichenbaum Lent, President and CEO of Rose Community Foundation. Heather realized she had to have Lindy on her Leadership with Heart Podcast after reading an article about Lindy in a magazine. That's how strong her caring leadership abilities are.  Lindy shares compelling stories and insights into the world of caring leadership. She describes what her drive to lead was born out of and shares a story where she learned a hard leadership lesson.  Takeaways: Leadership isn't measured by organization or budgetary size.  Leadership is about leveraging partnerships internally and externally to minimize impact.  Just do better everyday.  Focus internally on your culture before diving into strategic planning.  Teams attract best and brightest talent. Leadership is the opposite of leave no trace.  Create the space and time to listen.  We're on this earth for such a short time, why not do as much as we can?
