## Resource

Everyone talks about leadership inside the walls of their organization. Almost no one is talking about how leaders show up outside of it . In this episode, Tammy J. Bond sits down with Kristin Bakke to break down what community leadership actually looks like—and how leaders from all walks of life can upskill themselves and their teams in the community. Because here's the truth: You don't get to build a strong organization while ignoring the community it lives in. This conversation challenges leaders to stop playing small, stop outsourcing impact, and start owning their role beyond their title. If you think leadership ends at your org chart, this episode will disrupt that fast. Key Takeaways Leadership is not confined to your company—it's visible everywhere you show up Community leadership builds trust faster than internal initiatives ever will Leaders who ignore community impact create disconnected, low-trust cultures Influence isn't declared—it's earned through consistent external behavior Strong communities require leaders who stop waiting and start participating
