Greta Johnson’s journey through public service is a powerful testament to trusting your gut and embracing life’s unexpected turns. Rooted in blue-collar values and shaped by her parents’ resilience, Greta has followed a “five-minute plan” mindset, focusing on excellence in the moment rather than rigid long-term goals. From prosecuting cases to becoming a state representative while raising twins, and now serving in Summit County administration, she has led with heart, intentionality, and courage. Her hard-earned wisdom around sustainability, “Resting is not quitting,” reminds us that meaningful impact starts with taking care of ourselves and others.
Highlights from this episode:
- Growing up in a blue-collar family where both parents modeled hard work and sacrifice
- Following her intuition into law school after initially planning to become a high school English teacher
- Transitioning from prosecution to state politics when approached to run for office while raising one-year-old twins
- Discovering greater impact in local government as part of Summit County's administration
- Leading Summit County's groundbreaking lawsuit against opioid manufacturers and distributors
- Developing an intentional leadership style that adapts to each team member's needs
- Recognizing that "resting is not quitting" after years of burnout from constant work
- Defining success as making meaningful contributions each day rather than achieving external accolades
- Advising young leaders to "trust your gut, always" and established leaders to maintain collaboration
