Let Obstacles become Opportunities
It takes more than passion to be a true leader. Listening and loyalty are also important. In this post, Delquanda Turner sheds light on what six qualities she sees in those she feels are practicing true leadership. In the Grow section, additional perspectives on leadership, for those working for non-profits and community organizations, are offered.

As we talked with Delquanda Turner in mid-January, the community manager’s passion for engaging the community and families was refreshing and clearly heart-felt. Her insight into community planning, effective leadership, and non-profit organizations was hard to hide. As Community Planning Manager for the Juvenile Welfare Board in Central Florida, Turner spoke eloquently on several non-profit and community issues.
The gems the Your Outcomes Well Team gleamed from Turner, during this conversation, are the seeds for our 3rd blog Series – which begins today with this post.
