Episode 97 | Empowering Others: An Interview with Jeff Martin

A true test of leadership can be seen in how well you can motivate and empower people when a paycheck isn't on the line. So many non-profits and ministries rely on the efforts and expertise of volunteers, but have you found yourself with a dwindling or disengaged volunteer team and wondered why? Jenni Catron talks with Jeff Martin, FCA Executive Director, about the 4 keys to leading a volunteer movement. Even if you don't lead volunteers, you'll find leadership tenets in this conversation that will serve you well as you see to empower those you lead.

In this episode you'll learn...

• the difference between managing volunteers and moving volunteers
