To build a community partnership you must have UNITY & SERVANT LEADERSHIP. 

Tamarra believes “action is the foundational key to all success” and that has helped her build brand awareness for her organization’s mission. 

People must understand what your organization does, how you serve others, and where they can get involved.

You have to promote your organization’s mission so that others can join in the cause. 

Nothing in life is a waste Tamarra believes there is a purpose and plan behind everything.

Today’s guest is Ron Tatum, Executive Director of KAFASI, who has led his community for 20+ years. 

Ron learned as a young boy, watching his Mother, give back to the community with her servant leadership. Ron asked his Mom “Why do you work so hard to help others?” Her words impacted his life forever and those were “It’s not always about you!”  

You will hear how Ron took that same passion to impact others through mentorship and servant leadership.

It’s incredible to hear how Ron has earned many leadership accolades, but the most impactful ones come from the lives he has impacted. Recently, Ron was at Walmart when he ran into a past mentoree and heard how leadership lessons are still being lived out today under that person’s leadership. 

This is LEGACY LEADERSHIP that continues when we are gone.

Ron’s favorite quote is “Things you do for yourself are gone when you’re gone, but things you do for others will remain as your everlasting legacy!” 

Enjoy this amazing story and learn how Ron is making an impact each day. 

Leadership is hard. Leading others well is risky. It means taking the chance that things could go poorly, or failure could happen, people could be hurt, or you could be hurt.

But it’s worth it.

I have many more scars now, which I’m very proud of because it means that I took the risks I needed in business. 

I’ve noticed a lot of the scars I have fall into one of these three categories:

SCARS from unfair assumptions

SCARS from my emotional reactions

SCARS from broken trust

Have you ever heard someone say “I love where I work?!” It’s rare. Often we hear the opposite. 

No one starts a business hoping their employees will hate where they work but why does it happen so much?

One keyword will  make the difference: CULTURE

Recently CCB Technology was spotlighted in the RAMAC’s magazine “THE VOICE”. The title was CCB BLENDS IT AND POSITIVE COMPANY CULTURE. 

Company culture can be defined as the set of values, beliefs, and behaviors that shape how employees interact with each other, their leaders, and the work itself in an organization.

This podcast talks about THREE KEY AREAS:

CCB has seen treating a positive, supportive culture where our employees feel good about where they work, overflows to our customers. It leads to customer loyalty and gives CCB a business climate for our long-term growth.

This week’s podcast is with Dave Strash, President and CEO of the Kenosha Area Chamber of Commerce.
