purposeful leadership

Jennifer McCollum, CEO of Linkage, was a recent guest on Rhett Power’s podcast, Power Lunch Live. During her appearance, she discussed the critical challenges leaders are facing and how they can address them head-on. 

With the on-going spread of COVID-19, and with preventative measures like social isolation, shelter in place orders, and telecommuting, employee engagement is more important than ever. It is vital that organizations preserve their talent and maintain leadership pipelines as we all rise to the challenge of facing the coronavirus head on, and employee engagement is the key to this. By implementing these tips, you will greatly improve the longevity of employees on your team, and even increase profitability for your company.

As organizations work to navigate the troubled waters we’re finding ourselves in due to the global health crisis, we encourage leaders to ask themselves how they can lead with purpose and use this situation as an opportunity for growth.

In a crisis, when the path forward is unclear, leading is even harder. At Linkage, our purpose is to change the face of leadership, by accelerating all leaders to be more effective and advancing women and other under-represented populations. In challenging times, this mission becomes even more critical, as we help all leaders face this uncertainty with confidence and emerge even stronger.

Each year, Linkage has the distinct pleasure of honoring a leader who has dedicated their career–and arguably their life journey–to leading through purpose–by unlocking purpose in those they coach. We are thrilled to announce that Alan Mulally will serve as the 2020 “Legends in Leadership” faculty member at the Women in Leadership Institute.
