We help communities recover, rebuild and reimagine after disaster

S01-E19 - How to Lead: Public Sector (Local) with James Gore on the How to Disaster Podcast

SERIES: Role of the Public Sector

“Resiliency defines this idea of not just being able to get hit and get back up, but … how we rise up and build better systems out of what we're dealing with and how we make sure that we own our place in the future.” -James Gore

Episode Description:

Disasters breed emergent leaders. But what is the true essence of being a servant leader? How can leaders help the community navigate through trauma and advocate for equity? What organization strategies can be applied to ensure public safety and speed up progress? Lastly, how can each member help rebuild the lost momentum and work towards a more resilient community? Leaders are our partners and allies for transformation, but only when the community plays its part will true recovery be achieved. Tune in as Jennifer and Sonoma County Supervisor James Gore share how to be a public official that the community needs in the midst of a disaster. It’s time to own our future, be a champion for change!
