[PODCAST] Leadership in Crisis: Managing Dysfunction and Conflict – Chris Wong

Leadership in Crisis: Managing Dysfunction and Conflict

In this episode, host Meghan Speer sits down with Chris Wong, founder and executive coach at Leadership Potential and a featured main stage speaker at this year’s Cause Camp. Drawing from his background as a licensed therapist turned leadership and organizational development expert, Chris shares practical strategies for nonprofit leaders—especially those who identify as “chronic people pleasers”—to navigate difficult conversations, balance accountability with support, and set clear boundaries without sacrificing empathy. Together, they explore how regular check-ins, progressive discipline, and value-driven leadership can transform team culture, prevent burnout, and keep organizations mission-focused. Whether you’re leading a small startup nonprofit or a large, established team, this conversation offers actionable insights to help you lead with clarity, courage, and compassion.
