August 25, 2026[PODCAST] Why Better Systems Cannot Fix Bad Leadership
In this episode of Nonprofit Hub Radio, leadership coach and author Nick Reich explores why systems and software cannot solve foundational leadership challenges. The discussion delves into the “full circle leader” framework, the critical difference between vision and direction, and how balancing high expectations with deep care—defined as “love with standards”—helps nonprofit teams shift out of burnout and into a sustainable growth zone.
