Leading Habitat for Humanity: Purpose, Service, and Faith with Jonathan Reckford

What if the world's biggest problems required leading across sectors you don't control? In this episode of Humanity at Scale, host Bruce Temkin welcomes Jonathan Reckford, CEO of Habitat for Humanity International, about leading without authority in a divided world. They explore servant leadership, managing systemic tensions instead of chasing quick fixes, and aligning government, markets, and civil society around shared purpose. Reckford shares why clarity is kindness, how faith-driven values scale globally, and why the most powerful leaders focus on being useful rather than powerful.
