Podcasts about healthy leadership

The way of Jesus is for organizations to nurture flourishing individuals and societies. But many of us have experienced the devastating effects of a toxic work environment. This is not the way God meant organizations to run. From the ancient Old Testament Scriptures and the teachings of Jesus and his Apostles, everything in life is meant for universal flourishing, or Shalom.Our guest is Dr. Justin Irving, Professor of Christian Leadership at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky. His newest book is titled, Healthy Leadership for Thriving Organizations: Creating Contexts Where People Flourish (Baker Academic, 2024), In it, he provides theological foundations for healthy Christian leadership in for-profit corporations, nonprofits, and churches. He also provides insights from interviewing over 200 executive leaders.In our discussion, we discuss: * Leadership for human flourishing* Cultivating healthy teams* Delegation for the good of the people we lead and for the organization* What hinders good organizational communication* How to measure how healthy an organizational culture is* How to be sure that every aspect of an organization aligns with the organization's values and beliefsIn our conversation, we discussed the Good Place Operating System (GPOS), from The Good Place Institute, for which Bob Robinson is a Partner Consultant. The GPOS is a systematic approach to clearly stating a purpose and mission in a charter, to build all the systems in an organization to align with the charter, and then to measure success on business dashboards.

Professor of Politics and International Relations at North-West University, Dr Piet Croucamp, speaks to Lester Kiewit about the growing tensions within the DA between leader John Steenhuisen and ousted former minister Dion George, a dispute that has prompted the party to launch a formal probe and issue a gag order to stop public arguments.

In this episode of The Church Planting Podcast, host Greg Nettle, President of Stadia Church Planting, welcomes long-time friend Andy Sikora, planter and lead pastor of Renew Communities in Cleveland. Fresh off a two-week Patagonia trek, Andy reflects on 15 years of church planting and the lessons learned along the way. Andy shares how he and his wife moved to Cleveland after serving in young adult ministry, eventually launching Renew in 2011. He discusses the critical role of perseverance, the importance of planting with people rather than alone, and the conviction that God must truly call you to the work. He illustrates these principles with stories of sending out new planters—like CrossFields Church and Burning River Church—and highlights the collaborative work of the Kingdom Collective, a Cleveland-based partnership that funds and supports multiplication. Greg and Andy also explore sustaining a healthy marriage while leading a church, the power of curiosity for ongoing growth, and why planters should focus less on "sexy" locations and more on God's call to specific people, not just places.

When Irene Gomez stepped into her role as director at the J Center for Early Learning in El Paso, Texas, she carried what so many new leaders do: hyper-responsibility, people-pleasing, and the pressure to be the “hero” in every situation.In this episode, Irene shares her journey inside the Schools of Excellence coaching program and the transformation that followed—from chasing fires and working late nights, to leading with clarity, boundaries, and trust.You'll hear how a calendar became her leadership lifeline, how gratitude reshaped her staff culture, and how self-trust shifted her from over-functioning into a confident leader who now builds sustainable rhythms for her team and balance for her family.This isn't just a story of better systems. It's a story of reclaiming identity, building trust, and choosing to lead without sacrificing health or home.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why boundaries start with the leader, not with the staffHow shifting from “hero” to CEO changes your school cultureThe role of one-on-one meetings in building trust and career growth for teachersWhy specific gratitude builds safety and resilience in teamsHow leadership growth impacts marriage, parenting, and personal lifeWhy coaching is never “one more thing”—it's the foundation of sustainable leadershipKey InsightsBoundaries are for you first.

One-on-ones and specific gratitude create safety for real conversations.You can't hustle your way to sustainability. Systems and rhythms—not over-functioning—are what hold schools together.Personal growth multiplies. When leaders evolve, staff mirror that same growth in respect, empowerment, and culture.Memorable Quotes“The boundaries weren't just for others—they were for me.” – Irene Gomez“True success is having a strong team that wants to stay forever.” – Irene Gomez“Enough isn't about getting ahead.

The weight of spiritual leadership has a tendency to distort our ideas of how to create a healthy culture of community and leadership. Rather than being open-handed and valuing people for their own sake and insights, leaders sometimes become fearful of failure exert too much control.

Every great leader wants to be there for their team. But here's the hard truth: it backfires if you make yourself too available. Your time gets stretched too thin, decision-making slows down, and—ironically—the people you're trying to help may start depending on you too much. Today, we're tackling one of the most common leadership struggles: being accessible without being overwhelmed. We'll cover why being ‘always available' hurts you and your team, practical ways to set boundaries, and how to create a culture where people get what they need—without needing you all the time.

Jonathan and Alan discuss the transformative power of sabbaticals, exploring how they can benefit both leaders and organizations. Alan shares his personal experiences with sabbaticals and how they led him to coaching others on the subject. They highlight the importance of demystifying sabbaticals, the organizational benefits they bring, and practical steps for implementing a healthy sabbatical program.    Takeaways Sabbaticals can be a powerful tool for personal and professional growth.

A well-structured sabbatical program can enhance organizational health. Younger generations prioritize workplace flexibility and purpose. Sabbaticals can help prevent burnout and promote longevity in leadership roles. Organizations that support sabbaticals can attract and retain talent. Sabbaticals can lead to clearer vision and innovation upon return. The process of planning for a sabbatical can energize the entire team. Investing in sabbaticals is an investment in a better life for employees.

This sermon was preached by Pastor Kyle Huber at Greentree Church on November10, 2024. Scripture: 1 Peter 5:1-4

I had a coworker who was like sandpaper for me. Every time my slack would ding with their name, I would just feel a pang of “ugh”. Have you ever felt that? Truthfully, if you work with people long enough, someone will be this for you…and this might be inevitable at some point in any relationship. I decided to start with donuts. I knew she obsessed over donuts, and I thought maybe some time outside of work talk would do us some good. So I asked her to go for donuts. After that donut shop meeting, her messages did not send me into groan mode. This is the magic of connection! Connection is the glue of healthy leadership. Start with understanding your personality and values to connect with others. Then move to understanding others.

Church planters have the opportunity to set their culture for all sorts of leadership practices including empowering the next generation, developing women, and creating systems of accountability. Kadi Cole and Chestly discuss all of these critical topics and why church planters need to think hard and plan carefully so that they don't end up perpetuating the example of many established churches that often fail in these areas.Resources mentioned in this episode:MomentumMarketplace.orgKadiCole.comNewBreedTraining.comMissionByBusiness.com

In this sermon, we explored 1 Timothy 3, focusing on the theme of "Healthy Leadership in the Church." The Apostle Paul provides a blueprint for church leadership, emphasizing the importance of Christ-like character and conduct. This is crucial not only for those in pastoral roles but for every believer, as it equips us for good works and helps us discern what to expect from our leaders. Paul’s instructions to Timothy highlight the need for leaders who are above reproach, faithful, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, and able to teach. These qualities are not just for leaders but are characteristics that all Christians should strive to embody. Paul's message is particularly relevant today, given the numerous instances of fallen church leaders. It’s essential to understand that leadership in the church is not about charisma but about character. Leaders should set the pace for godliness, and their lives should reflect the gospel's transformative power. This understanding helps us identify potential leaders within our community and informs our prayers and decisions when choosing a church. Paul also addresses the role of deacons, who, like elders, must exhibit Christ-like character. While deacons are not required to teach, they play a vital role in serving the church and supporting the elders. The qualifications for both roles overlap significantly, emphasizing the importance of a well-ordered life, hospitality, and a healthy home environment. Healthy leadership is foundational for a healthy church. We must value character over charisma and cultivate Christ-like qualities in our lives. This not only strengthens our faith but also ensures that we are led by individuals who genuinely reflect the heart of Christ.

In this teaching, we learn that healthy leadership in the church is based on Christ-like character and conduct that is shaped by the gospel.

“The complex challenges and demands faced by today's leaders will not be overcome by simply applying administrative techniques or business best practices,” writes Justin A. Irving. “Today's leaders need something more — they need wisdom to lead their communities through complex times.” In this episode of the Influence Podcast, I talk to Irving about what that wisdom looks like in terms of self-leadership; people and teams; organizational dynamics, especially culture; and external dynamics, including crises and change.

McCall Professor of Christian Leadership and chair of the department of Leadership and Discipleship at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, as well as author of Healthy Leadership for Thriving Organizations, published in 2023 by Baker Academic.

Welcome to our first REAL episode of the Leader's Table. Bonnie and I have a lively conversation with all the why's & how's of creating great connection with simple loving gestures. And why this can be so important for healthy leadership. Learn how investing in loving gestures and creating small moments of connection with a loved one ARE the key to: Supporting your well-being as a leader. Helping with the guilt of those long work days and business trips. Building a routine that supports you and helps you to process work related stress. In this interview with Bonnie Daneker, author of the book: Stoplights are for Kissing we discuss how these small gestures between you and your partner can be just the connection you need right now. The inspiration for Stoplights are for Kissing came from The Book of Awesome (by Neil Pasricha) meets1000+ Little Habits of Happy, Successful Relationships (by Marc and Angel Chernoff) and Bonnie's beautiful research. Diana mentions the resource of following @yungpueblo and his recent book around relationships and healing: The Way Forward. ___________________ Whether we're together as a new couple, in a seasoned partnership, or looking for that special someone, we want to feel good about our intimate connections. Too often, work, kids, family, and community obligations threaten that private, inner space.   In Stoplights Are For Kissing: 52 Small Gestures To Sustain Love In Your Relationship, author Bonnie Daneker addresses intimacy with her collection of simple, shareable ideas to keep romance alive. The gift book, beautifully illustrated by Eevie Lanier, offers easy, repeatable ways to grow closer to your partner. These gestures of affection, some planned and some surprising, pay back in multiples over time – unlike a single expected gesture per year – to create a fulfilling, sustainable marriage or relationship.

Language builds culture. Recently on the podcast, I shared 5 timeless leadership axioms - portable and powerful phrases that have become adopted by emotionally healthy leaders all around the world. For example..."Jesus may be in your heart, but grandpa is in your bones". It's an easier (and more playful) way of getting at the truth that everyone is deeply affected by their family of origin, going back hundreds of years. Today on the podcast, I continue this series by sharing 5 new axioms that I believe you will find helpful. These leadership sayings are extremely useful to adopt as you build a healthy team and church culture. I pray you will memorize them, ponder them, and make space to allow the biblical truth to penetrate you.
