In this episode of FOCUS on Leadership, Amy Shaw, President and CEO of Nine PBS and past Board Chair for FOCUS, explores an often-overlooked leadership principle: joy. From stepping into the CEO role during a time of crisis to navigating personal health battles and industry-wide uncertainty, she explains how leading with joy has helped her and her organization stay grounded, resilient, and forward-looking. In this candid conversation, we also discuss the importance of vulnerability, the lessons learned from navigating crisis, and how to create a workplace where people feel energized and valued.
