Tiffany Grunert: It’s Not About You, It’s About the Team

In this episode Cynthia speaks with Tiffany Grunert, the President and CEO of Morris Animal Foundation. Tiffany's very intentional leadership style is focused on culture, teams, and empowerment. While empowerment is a term that can make some leaders shudder, Tiffany outlines the strengths of an intentional approach. As she explains, clear values, strong interdependence between teams, and the space to make mistakes can empower others in service of the mission of the organization, which drives engagement and performance. In addition to the discussion of leadership style, a good portion of the conversation focuses on organization culture, and that HOW you achieve something is as important as WHAT you do.
