In this episode of Leadership Quotient, Lindsay Guzowski, CEO of The Crucible, speaks with Ellen Chang, Managing Director at CapZone Impact Investments, about why long-term value creation depends on building ecosystems, not just individual companies. Drawing on leadership experience from the U.S. Navy, Northrop Grumman, and impact investing, Ellen shares why great leaders make people feel heard and seen, how patient capital changes the way investors think about leadership, and why collaboration often creates stronger outcomes than zero-sum competition.
