Episode notes

What you don't measure, you can't manage. And what you don't bring to the table - your full authentic self - is exactly what your organization is missing. In this episode of the Leadership Sovereignty Podcast, host Ralph Owens and co-host Terry Baylor continue their conversation with Brenda Battle - national health equity leader and C-suite executive. This is Part 3 of 5. Brenda connects innovation to equity - and shows how both principles are transferable to any industry, any table, and any professional willing to lead with data and authenticity. She shares how she kabashed top-down decision making at UChicago Medicine by letting communities co-design their own interventions, why Coca-Cola tastes different in Tanzania, and why being the only one in the room who looks like you is not a liability - it is your advantage. She closes with a practical boundary she set 25 years ago that protected her physical, mental, and spiritual health for the rest of her career.
