Thriving in Adversity: Leadership and Engagement with Lisa Kogan-Praska

Culture Over Coffee

In this episode, we’re continuing our focus on company leaders by taking a look at how to go about maintaining employee engagement when leading through times of adversity.

And we can’t think of a better leader to turn to for a topic like this than Lisa Kogan-Praska, CEO of the Boys & Girls Club of the Bay and Lakes Region.
Lisa has such amazing insights, like:

• How, without transparency, it’s hard to have an intentional culture
• Why, too often, leaders think they need to have all the answers, when, really, their job is to show the path forward
• And, finally, why, for leaders, being present WHEN you’re present can make a huge difference in the engagement of your teams
