According to longtime affordable housing leaders Sondra Wimbs and Michael Johnson, it’s not a title, and it’s not something you’re simply born knowing how to do.\n\nIn this episode of The SAHMA Exchange, Sondra and Michael reflect on more than four decades in affordable housing, their years of involvement with SAHMA and the leadership lessons they learned along the way.\n\nThey talk about why leadership is a skill set that has to be developed and practiced, the importance of listening and emotional intelligence, leading through change, recognizing leadership potential in others and why relationships still matter even in an increasingly technology-driven industry.\n\nNow retired from their full-time careers, both Sondra and Michael continue investing in the next generation as facilitators for the SAHMA Leadership Academy.\n\nWhether you’re already leading a team or just beginning to think about where your career might take you, this conversation is a reminder that leadership starts long before there’s a title attached to your name."}
