Episode 1 - Leading Through Uncertainty
Welcome to Pilot to Co-Pilot: A Leadership Podcast on Growth and Collaboration. We are your hosts Antonio Neves and Jason Lindstrom, and we are so happy that you have tuned in! In our inaugural episode, Jason, CEO of Evergreen Credit Union, reflects on his experiences dealing with uncertainty, such as the unprecedented challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. As the world was suddenly turned upside down, he found himself thrust into roles that he never expected - from biologist to dad of the organization. With nearly a hundred employees looking to him for guidance, he had to quickly adapt and make tough decisions, all while dealing with his own uncertainty.
Listen in as Jason highlights the importance of staying anchored to the mission and vision, even when the ground is constantly shifting. He talks about the power of being transparent, both with his team. He shares his collaborative approach bringing in diverse perspectives and stresses the need to slow down, take a breath, and carefully weigh the pros and cons rather than rushing into hasty decisions.
Throughout our conversation, you'll note how Jason's "we" language shines through, highlighting his belief that leadership is a team effort. He shares a poignant personal story of being on the other side of a tough decision and how that experience has shaped his empathetic approach as a leader.
Despite the chaos and turbulence of the current environment, Jason remains optimistic, seeing change and evolution as the keys to progress, and his passion for serving his members and community is palpable, inspiring listeners to embrace the challenges of leadership with resilience and compassion!
