#159 - The Power of Shared Leadership - with Andrew Alexseyenko & Jerry Colonna

When faced with uncertain times and unavoidable challenges, how we show up matters. For some of us, a healthy reaction might be to withdraw and tend to the tender parts of ourselves that need support and care. For others, these crucible moments present an opportunity to lean into the work of our lives and give us the chance to truly discover the work we were born to do.  In this episode, Jerry sits down with Andrew Alexseyenko, a Ukrainian entrepreneur and co-founder of KOLO, a nonprofit organization that provides operational assistance to the Ukrainian Armed Forces. In this conversation, Andrew describes the early stages of the war and shares what compelled him and his co-founders to put their existing startup on pause and shift their focus toward building KOLO. Jerry marvels at the power of shared leadership and points out that the hallmark of a great leader is the number of leaders they help create. He reminds us of the ways collective leadership can effectively combat hopelessness and can provide a sense of agency in the face of adversity. Jerry illustrates how the skills we develop during times of turbulence are carried with us throughout the remainder of our adult lives. Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts!
