INT 197 - When Your Leadership Path Pivots to Ownership

In this episode, I dive deep into a conversation with Charlotte Leonard. With over 35 years of experience in healthcare, Charlotte discusses her journey from a leadership role to becoming a franchise owner. Tune in to hear her insights and lessons learned along the way.

Charlotte's Career Journey

Started as an admission assistant in a nursing home in 1986.
Rose to the position of Regional Director, overseeing multiple locations.
Transitioned to semi-retirement and new challenges as a franchise owner of a vitamin therapy spot opening in October.

Leadership Lessons

Within the episode, Charlotte shares several leadership lessons she learned from her journey. Here's two of them:

Trusting Your Team: Emphasizes the importance of trusting team members to do what they’ve been hired for. Allowing room for mistakes while providing support is key to growth and success.
Adding Value as a Leader: As a Regional Director, Charlotte focused on supporting administrators to ensure their success, which in turn reflected her own success.

Developing Self-Awareness as a Leader

She shares different ways leaders can develop self-awareness:

Listen to Feedback: Understanding what others need from you is crucial.
Have a Mentor or Board of Advisors: Regularly seek feedback on how you show up as a leader.
Continuous Learning: Constantly be a student of leadership, taking courses, reading, and self-assessing to improve.

"Change happens sometimes to you instead of you making the change." - Charlotte Leonard.
