Why leadership in purpose-driven organisations is so complex.
"Changes usually happen not at the centre of an organisation, but at the periphery and at the edges."
Daniel Atlin is a coach, communicator, strategist, fundraiser, adjunct professor, and connector with over 30 years experience in senior roles in Canada's post-secondary, cooperative, and government sectors.
In this episode, he talks to host Charlotte Otter about his leadership journey from the music industry ('we got Napsterized') into the public sector, culminating in a role at Guelph University as Vice President External running fundraising, alumni relations, government relations, community relations, marketing, and traditional comms.
Now a coach and executive advisor to leaders in complex institutions, Daniel is writing and speaking on the topic of sense-making. And he has a passion for unlocking talent and potential as a coach, as well as helping to recruit and promote leaders from diverse backgrounds.
Daniel also makes a big announcement of his own - no spoilers here.
This is a lovely conversation with a wise and thoughtful leader who's making a difference to individuals and organisations alike.
