New Nonprofit Leader Podcast - Episode 01

Hello, my friends. Welcome to the New Nonprofit Leader podcast. I’m your host, Todd MacPherson. And this is the very first episode of this new podcast.

 

So...

Are you a leader in your organization?

Do you sometimes find leadership challenging (maybe even a little terrifying)?

Yet, you think you just might have what it takes to be a good leader!

If you want to become a leader that makes a lasting impact, this podcast is for you.

 

My goal with this podcast is to help new leaders at nonprofit organizations, survive and thrive in their leadership role.

I didn’t always realize how essential leadership is, but after 28 years in nonprofit leadership, I have come to realize that leadership is the most critical element to the success of any organization and any mission.

 

As leadership expert John Maxwell famously states, “Everything rises and falls on leadership.”

 

So, if you’re ready to survive and even thrive as a leader, listen to this episode on “Becoming a Leader People Love to Follow.”

Enjoy the episode.
