Leadership by Purpose Podcast
Leadership by Purpose is a podcast for leaders navigating change with confidence. Host Monisha Kapila—executive coach, consultant, and former nonprofit CEO—brings over 20 years of leadership experience to honest conversations about the real challenges leaders face during times of transition.
Each season explores a different dimension of values-centered leadership through interviews with nonprofit CEOs, social entrepreneurs, and business leaders across sectors. From organizational restructuring and AI adoption to succession planning and advancing equity, we tackle the topics that keep leaders up at night.
Whether you're managing a merger, leading through layoffs, building culture during challenging times, or simply trying to stay grounded in your values while navigating complexity, this podcast offers practical wisdom and authentic perspectives from leaders who've been there.
Leadership by Purpose explores the what (results you're driving), why (values that guide you), how (strategies you're using), and who (people you're impacting)—because effective leadership requires all four.
