Faith, Practically

In this session, my guest is Kymone Hinds of Ideas To Life, and we discuss  how to respectfully support your leaders while also prioritizing the well-being of the team, practical ways to lead “from the backseat” without stepping on toes or skirting the chain of command, and discerning when to be silent, speak up, or take action when leadership has been harmful or ineffective.
