Lessons from a “Leader by Accident,” with Jim Rafferty

What if your leadership wasn’t planned? What can we learn from becoming a leader by accident? 

This week on the podcast, William interviews Jim Rafferty, the author of Leader by Accident: Lessons in Leadership, Loss and Life. Leader by Accident recounts the tragedy that thrust Jim into a demanding volunteer role, and how that experience fueled a subsequent journey into entrepreneurship.

Jim is a marketing and communications consultant and Principal of JMRketing, LLC, in Baltimore, Maryland. A former radio announcer and program director, Jim now puts three decades of marketing experience to work in helping businesses communicate more effectively with their audiences. Incurably married and the father of two grown children, Jim spends his spare time singing wherever people will listen and sharing cringe-worthy Dad jokes on social media.
