In this week's episode of The Raimy and Bini show, we dive into 5 qualities that make a nonprofit leader shine... and five that could use a little work.

We tackle some of the big questions keeping you up at night like:

• Are good nonprofit leaders any different from good for-profit leaders
• How do strong leaders empower their staff?
• And how can leaders avoid chasing shiny objects and stay focused on the mission at hand?

Raimy's voice is a little raspy in this one, possibly due to too much hootin' and hollerin' at a recent Bat Mitzvah, but don’t let that distract you.

This episode is packed with key takeaways you can implement right away to become a more effective and efficient leader.
