| 26 Jan 2022 | Ep 122: REBOOT - Resilient Leadership and the F Word | 00:12:44 | |
Today we are going back into the archives to listen again to an episode that resonated with many different leaders. It’s where we talk about the importance of the four letter F word: fail. It’s a powerful force – and if we are to be healthy and resilient leaders we must face this concept of failure directly and courageously. 1. What’s your favorite leadership mistake? What’s the leader fail you’ve committed? What was it and why is it your favorite? 2. A great question to ask yourself in the midst of failure: “Did we do any learning yet?” “What can I learn and how can I grow from this situation I am in?” “What can I learn for next time?” 3. How do you define success? How do you define failure? Because how you define those terms will define you. 4. And like Ray Dalio, “Have I or am I creating a culture in which it is okay to make mistakes and unacceptable not to learn from them?” LINK: J.R.’s book on failure he wrote to help ministry leaders – Fail: Finding Hope and Grace in the Midst of Ministry Failure *** Connect with J.R. | |||

Today we do a deep dive – but for only a few brief moments – on the concept of family systems theory.

We are not going “back to normal” and there will be no “new normal.” Instead, we are entering - and have already begun to enter - the new reality. Why does this slight change of language matter in how resilient leaders talk and think? Because language always matters, especially for leaders.

Theologian Walter Brueggeman wrote, “Orientation leads to disorientation which leads to reorientation.” We’ve all experienced massive disorientation the past year. So how do we move to reorientation – and how do we lead others (even when they don’t want to go that direction!) toward reorientation? Have you seen my recently released book, A Time To Heal?

| 22 May 2020 | Ep 6: Feedback: The Breakfast of Champions | 00:11:58 | |
Receiving feedback can be painful, awkward, vulnerable, and excruciating. Yet it can be a beautiful gift. Resilient leaders understand this.

He also shares stories about when he went to trapeze school and how he solicits feedback from his sons who to be a better dad and from his students in his seminary courses on a weekly basis.

Name one area of my life where you see room for improvement. Where can I be better? 4. If you were put in charge of the world’s resources, what would you assign me to do? 5. What happens when I walk in a room? Good or bad, what shows up when I show up? Also, see Sheila Heen’s book ‘Thanks for the Feedback’ for a wonderful resource on giving and receiving feedback.

| 23 Feb 2021 | Ep 76: Every element of life: surrender or stewardship | 00:08:44 | |
While life is complex, one thing is for sure: our lives are full of decisions of either surrender or stewardship. We either need to let go of people, situations or outcomes (surrender), of we need to be faithful to our callings, responsibilities, and expectations (stewardship). On today’s episode we navigate these two choices and how we can learn to know the difference in order to be leaders who grow in resilience. | |||
| 02 Oct 2020 | Ep 44: Navigating the 4 domains of leadership strength | 00:09:40 | |

| 22 May 2024 | Ep 239: Prayers Briefly Spoken | 00:09:25 | |
One of the most important ways to remain resilient in our leadership is to have a rooted and ongoing prayer life. But sometimes prayer can feel complicated and dry.

| 23 Mar 2022 | Ep 130: The Bread Truck Test [REBOOT] | 00:13:43 | |
“Stop being a leader; instead be a leader multiplier.” This episode we talk about why every leader must pass the Bread Truck Test. We talk about what the Bread Truck Test is, what it means to move from possessing a diminisher mindset to a multiplier mindset, and how we can move from leadership by addition to leadership by multiplication. J.R. talked about the great book by Liz Wiseman Multipliers: How the Best People Make Everyone Smarter. It’s a fantastic book – one he highly recommends. . . .
