The Impact of Leadership Podcast | Chancellor Akey

In every leadership transition, there are great things and challenging things. John Maxwell says, “The bigger the obstacle, the bigger the opportunity.” Which is a nice phrase until you’re facing challenges.

• When everyone expects you to have all the answers, what do you say when you’re unsure?
• When everyone wants some of your time, how do you prioritize who gets a meeting?
• Where do you start when there are multiple issues that need to be addressed?
• What characteristics rise to the top for a leader willing and able to move an organization forward?
