What does it mean to lead from the inside out?

In this episode of Meditations on Leadership, Don reflects on the difference between image and character, and on how the deepest mark we leave as leaders is often shaped less by what we try to project than by the quieter qualities that consistently come through us. He is then joined by former Maine State Senator Chris Rector for a thoughtful conversation about public service, personal formation, and the lifelong work of building strength of heart, mind, and will.

A grounding reminder: the most lasting measure of leadership is not how well we are seen, but how deeply others are shaped by the way we lead.
