On this episode, I’m joined by Natalie Shirley, President and CEO at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum, for a conversation about catering your leadership style to match your strengths.
Natalie is a self-described fixer and she was hand-selected to help revitalize a museum that was struggling with financial stability and general workplace health. She revamped the budget and incorporated staff feedback and individual mentorship into the workplace culture to make the museum a place where employees actually wanted to work.
Natalie knows her strengths and her leadership ability and so, despite the success she has found at the museum, she doesn’t intend to stay long-term. She’s self-aware enough to know that while she might have been the ideal person to fix a broken organization, there are others better suited to manage it during this newfound period of stability.
To Shirley, knowing when to walk away is an essential part of leadership.
