    Steve Backlund on The Culture of Empowerment

    Join Larry Kreider and Merle Shenk as they sit down with Steve Backlund to explore the key principles of empowerment in leadership, based on his book The Culture of Empowerment: How to Champion People. Steve will share insightful stories from his own leadership journey, encouraging listeners to recognize the untapped potential within their teams and to proactively empower them to make a meaningful impact. Don't miss this inspiring and challenging episode that will transform the way you lead and empower others! Steve Backlund is the co-founder of Igniting Hope and is senior associate director for Bethel Leaders Network. He is an author of numerous books and a leadership developer who travels extensively throughout the world, encouraging churches, leaders, and organizations to develop cultures of empowerment. Steve and his wife, Wendy, were senior pastors for seventeen years and now reside in Redding, California. Quotable Quotes: “Every organization has some kind of culture. A wise leader shapes culture intentionally and chooses a model where empowerment is the norm.” “My goal is not to build a big church but to build big people.”—Bill Johnson “Empowerment creates a culture of feedback.” “If we look to those we lead to meet our needs, we ask them to empower us instead of the other way around.” Highlights: Empowerment is giving away power to your team so they can have an impact, authority, and autonomy, allowing them to make decisions and contribute to the overall goal. As a leader, be influenceable, allowing your team to be empowered to influence you. Seek first to understand before you seek to be understood. The nature of most relationships when we first meet is excitement, then disappointment, then either disconnection or connection. Luke 6:45 One of the greatest things a leader can do is believe in their people.

    On this week’s Larry Kreider Leadership Podcast, Larry and LaVerne Kreider share insights on the importance of responding to success with a teachable heart, recognizing the dangers of pride and competition that can take hold when we achieve success, and understanding that true success comes from practicing the presence of God in our lives.

    Larry & LaVerne Kreider on Passing The 21 Tests of Leadership: The Perseverance Test

    Join Larry and LaVerne Kreider as they discuss the significance of persevering through life's seasons. The Kreiders highlight how the process of perseverance is often more important than the ultimate outcome, and how God delights in the journey, granting us grace as we navigate His work in and through our lives. Three Life Seasons: The honeymoon season The problem season The perseverance-to-victory season Quotable Quotes: “We must never put our dreams of success as God’s purpose for us; His purpose may be exactly the opposite. We have an idea that God is leading us to a particular end, a desired goal; He is not. The question of getting to a particular end is a mere incident. What we call the process, God calls the end.”—Oswald Chambers “Never let the fear of striking out keep you from taking a swing.”—Babe Ruth Highlights: 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 God is at work within us and He delights in the process.
