Developing Imperfect Leaders

Developing Imperfect Leaders

The Developing Imperfect Leaders podcast is intended to develop imperfect people into better leaders. None of us are perfect, fully-realized people, which is why leadership development exists in the first place! Since we are NOT Jesus, we all have room for growth in our lives and we need help along the way. Therefore, each episode is designed to help anyone to become a better leader by examining a provocative question on a relevant leadership topic, looking at quotes from beneficial resources, and thinking through the practical application for growing in our imperfect leadership. If you are a perfect person who has life, relationships, and leadership all figured out, then this podcast is NOT for you. But, if you are someone who loves learning, growing, and improving. then this is something you'll enjoy and benefit from.

    Why do my parents get under my skin?

    In this episode, the team solves all your issues with your parents! NOT! The team discusses the unique ways that our parents can get under our skin, and what it looks like to not turn back into a teenager when we are with them. They consider the importance of emotional intelligence, healthy conflict, and following Jesus as we relate to our parents. Each episode features a leading question, quote of the week, and a Growing Together segment intended to help imperfect leaders to grow. Quote of the Week: Matthew 7:1-5 in the New Testament “Judge not, that you be not judged. 2 For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. 3 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? 4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.” Subscribe to our newsletter.

  2. Does my independent streak negatively impact my leadership?

    Does my independent streak negatively impact my leadership?

    In this episode, the team discusses the reality that all of us have an independent streak in some way, whether we like it or not. We want control and we want to get our way and that can hurt the way we relate to the teams we are involved with. They discuss how an independent streak can hinder collaboration and creativity, and what to do about this problem.  Each episode features a leading question, quote of the week, and a Growing Together segment intended to help imperfect leaders to grow. Quote of the Week: The quote comes from the book The Five Dysfunctions of a Team by Patrick Lencioni. He writes, “The most important action that a leader must take to encourage the building of trust on a team is to demonstrate vulnerability first. This requires that a leader risk losing face in front of the team, so that subordinates will take the same risk themselves. What is more, team leaders must create an environment that does not punish vulnerability.” Subscribe to our newsletter.

    What is the goal of teaching?

    In this episode, the team discusses the goal of teaching including some wrong answers. Did you know that teaching isn’t about being impressive or knowing everything? The team tackles that reality and considers some helpful things to give away ideas to the people you are trying to teach whether they are toddlers or adults that you are leading. Each episode features a leading question, quote of the week, and a Growing Together segment intended to help imperfect leaders to grow. Quote of the Week: The quote comes from an interview with Chris Anderson of Ted Talks, titled: TED’s secret to great public speaking. (We can apply this to teaching as well.) In the interview he says: “Your number one task as a speaker is to transfer into your listener’s minds an extraordinary gift – a strange and beautiful object that we call an idea…[an idea is] a pattern of information that helps you understand and navigate the world.” https://www.ted.com/talks/chris_anderson_ted_s_secret_to_great_public_speaking Subscribe to our newsletter.

  4. How Reliable is the Enneagram for Self-Understanding?

    How Reliable is the Enneagram for Self-Understanding?

    In this episode, the team discusses the sometimes polarizing Enneagram personality test! They discuss using the Enneagram as a tool and not condemning it or treating it as the same authority of Jesus. The team considers how using the Enneagram as a tool can help us to have language for sin and see our need for Jesus. They also identify Paul’s Enneagram number and see the ways it can be helpful in our lives. Each episode features a leading question, quote of the week, and a Growing Together segment intended to help imperfect leaders to grow. Quote of the Week: The quote comes from an article from Christianity Today by John Starke titled: An Evangelical’s Guide to the Enneagram. He writes, “The strength of the Enneagram is that it exposes where we might need healing and what vices might be causing division with others and even within ourselves. As Christians, we use the Enneagram as a tool to find healing not by becoming our true selves but by finding ourselves more truly in Christ. And we become more virtuous not by authenticity but by imitation.” https://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2016/november/evangelicals-guide-to-enneagram.html Subscribe to our newsletter.

  5. Why Should I Learn What Matters to the People I Lead?

    Why Should I Learn What Matters to the People I Lead?

    In this episode, the team discusses the idea of currency - knowing why people serve and work - and what impact or value they expect it to have. They consider the importance of knowing and caring for the people you lead, as well as understanding their values and gifts. The episode focuses on volunteering, managing, and being an employee. Each episode features a leading question, quote of the week, and a Growing Together segment intended to help imperfect leaders to grow. Quote of the Week: This week’s quote comes from a book titled, The Volunteer Project. In the book, they write, “Researchers refer to the use of one's own skills and abilities to make a difference as participation efficacy. Volunteers have a belief that participation in your program will bring about a meaningful result. It is important that as leaders we understand that nearly every volunteer arrives with an unstated psychological contract expecting their participation to result in a positive and meaningful outcome for others.” The Volunteer Project, Kizer, Kreisher, and Whitacre, p. 13 Subscribe to our newsletter.

  6. Where Should I Look for Meaning in Life?

    Where Should I Look for Meaning in Life?

    In this episode, the team discusses the reality that every single person on the planet desires meaning and purpose for their lives. They discuss the healthy and unhealthy ways to seek meaning and how we tend to look for security and significance in life. They also consider the challenges of seeking meaning in a self-obsessed culture. Each episode features a leading question, quote of the week, and a Growing Together segment intended to help imperfect leaders to grow. Quote of the Week: Today’s quote comes from an article about a study conducted by the Harvard Graduate School of Education where they studied the mental health challenges of teenagers and young adults.  The study mentioned how young adults have a lack of “meaning or purpose,” an emotional void – nearly three in five young adults (58 percent) reported that they personally felt in the previous month. Half of the young people surveyed also reported feeling a “lack of direction” in their lives. “Purpose involves an act of commitment to something in the world. And it’s something in the world that isn’t all about me, it’s not all about the self,” Damon said. “When you have that purposeful orientation, it prevents you from being self-absorbed and always worrying about yourself, being anxious and looking inward and saying, ‘Am I all right?’” https://www.insidehighered.com/news/students/physical-mental-health/2023/11/01/lack-purpose-drives-anxiety-depression-young-adults Subscribe to our newsletter.
