Why do employees stop speaking up at work? Episode 771 of the 7 Minute Leadership Podcast explores the leadership behaviors that either encourage honest communication or quietly shut it down. Learn practical strategies to build trust, improve workplace culture, and uncover problems before they damage performance.Host: Paul FalavolitoConnect with me on your favorite platform: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Substack, BlueSky, Threads, LinkTree, YouTubeView my website for free leadership resources and exclusive merchandise: www.paulfalavolito.comBooks by Paul FalavolitoThe 7 Minute Leadership® Handbook: bit.ly/48J8zFGThe Leadership Academy: https://bit.ly/4lnT1PfThe 7 Minute Leadership® Survival Guide: https://bit.ly/4ij0g8yThe Leader's Book of Secrets: http://bit.ly/4oeGzCI

You can have deep roots, genuine resilience, open hands, and real faith — and still not fully flourish. Because flourishing requires freedom. And for most of us, the thing standing between us and that freedom is something we've been carrying so long we don't notice the weight anymore. It's shame. In week 8 of our summer series, Christine Caine gets personal. This is the episode where she shares the testimony that reaches the part of us we don't usually let anyone see, the part that wonders, quietly and persistently, whether we are actually enough. Whether God could really use someone like us. Whether what happened to us has somehow disqualified us from what He intended for us. Christine Caine takes us back to Genesis 2, to the last verse before the fall, to the one thing God never designed us to carry, and shows that shame was never part of the original design. The enemy introduced it precisely because it is the most effective weapon against the thing he most wants to destroy: a life bearing fruit for the Kingdom. In this episode, Christine Caine opens her own story and shows what happened when she chose to place the truth of God's Word over the facts of her circumstances. She doesn't minimize the facts. She simply introduces a force that is higher than the facts: the truth of who God says you are. The takeaway that will stay with you: the thing the enemy used to shame you is often the very thing God will use to qualify you. ✨ If you've ever asked questions like… ✅ Why do I still feel like I'm not enough, even after years of faith? ✅ Can God really use someone with a past like mine? ✅ How do I separate my identity from what happened to me? ✅ What do I do with shame that feels too deep or too old to shift? ✅ How do I believe what God says about me when the facts of my life say something different? ✅ Is it possible to flourish when I'm still carrying things I haven't told anyone? ✅ What does it actually mean to be God's workmanship — and does that include me? …then this is your episode.

@1QLeadership Question: How can leaders in college athletics use their own story and environment to build better systems for student‑athlete success in the age of NIL? Dr. Ron Moses, Deputy AD at Old Dominion, shares how dropping out of high school, serving in the Army, and returning to college shaped his people‑first leadership style and commitment to mentoring. He explains why he keeps his office in the academic center, how his counseling and HR background inform mental health, academic, and NIL education, and why he treats revenue sharing as a financial literacy and life‑skills challenge for young athletes.  Moses also discusses his work with veterans and military partners. In his opinion, work such as teaching emotional intelligence, transition skills, and organizational development carry over to college athletics. He reflects on leading through an AD transition, using Virginia's competitive athletics landscape to raise standards, and leveraging the region's military presence to teach perspective, teamwork, and leadership.  In summary, Moses shows how lived experience, intentional relationships, and a unique local context can help leaders build holistic support systems that outlast any single person or era. - One Question Leadership Podcast - Stephanie Garcia-Cichosz - Tai M.

He explains that church members form deep emotional connections to traditions, systems, and experiences that shaped their spiritual journey, making change feel like loss. Shaw emphasizes that effective leadership requires empathy, patience, and a “follower-centric” mindset that prioritizes people over personal vision. He warns leaders against becoming “wrecking balls” and encourages pastors to carefully discern what truly needs to change versus what merely frustrates them personally.Purchase Christian Leader Sight Planner (a tool that has drastically changed Ryan's productivity): Black Cover – https://amzn.to/3JpBHvm Blue Cover – https://amzn.to/4ouFRB9 Green Cover – https://amzn.to/4oXVLUr Purchase The Christian Leader Blueprint book today: https://www.ryanfranklin.org/blueprintbookDownload The Christian Leader Blueprint – Short Guide (Free): https://www.ryanfranklin.org/blueprint Take the Christian Leader® Self-Assessment (Free):https://www.ryanfranklin.org/clselfassessment Learn more about Christian Leader® Community Coaching:https://www.ryanfranklin.org/communitycoaching YouTube and Audio Podcast: https://www.ryanfranklin.org/leaderpodcast Connect with Ryan: Email: info@ryanfranklin.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rnfranklin/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rnfranklin/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rnfranklin/ Audio mastering by Apostolic Audio: https://www.apostolic-audio.com#leadership, #thoughtleadership, #ministry, #pastor, #pastors, #churches, #leadershiptraining, #churchleader, #churchleaders, #influence, #leadershipdevelopment, #coaching, #executivecoach, #leadershipcoaching, #productivitycoach, #productivity, #growthmindset, #theproductiveleader, #ChristianLeader, #ChristianLeadership, #LeadershipPodcast, #FaithAndBusiness, #PodcastInterview, #ChristianEntrepreneurship, #KingdomImpact, #PodcastInspiration, #LeadershipJourney, #PurposeDriven, #ChristianPodcast, #LeadershipEssentials, #LeadershipFundamentalsSend us Fan Mail

David Gray is the CEO of FedUp Foods, a values-driven beverage company serving major retailers. His purpose-driven leadership has earned national recognition, including being named one of the MO 100 Top Impact CEOs, an annual ranking of purpose-driven business leaders, and receiving the Pros to Know Award. David believes the best leaders never force a choice between empathy and accountability. In times of uncertainty, people need both. Connection creates the trust that makes accountability possible. In this conversation, David explains how leading through Hurricane Helene reinforced the importance of putting people first while communicating clearly through uncertainty. He shares the practical crisis leadership framework that guided his team through Hurricane Helene, explains why values become even more important as organizations scale, and reflects on what changed his mind about leadership: people really can grow when leaders take the time to understand and develop them. Whether you're leading through change or simply trying to build a stronger culture, this conversation offers a practical framework for balancing compassion with accountability while staying true to your values.

Some dreams begin with a destination.Others become a lifelong way of leading.As a young girl growing up in Montville, New Jersey, Lindsey Chrismon set her sights on one place: West Point. It was an ambitious goal, one that would shape nearly every chapter that followed.In this encore presentation of one of HarmonyTALK's favorite conversations, host Greg Frigoletto sits down with Lindsey to explore an extraordinary journey defined not simply by achievement, but by purpose.That purpose carried her from the halls of the United States Military Academy to becoming the first woman to pilot the Army's elite AH-6M Little Bird helicopter. It guided her through leadership roles in one of the world's most demanding organizations, into Harvard Business School, and ultimately toward founding Oply, an AI-powered company transforming how homeowners care for their homes.But this conversation is not about résumés.It is about the moments that shape a life.Lindsey reflects on growing up with a dream that many people thought was too ambitious, discovering confidence through challenge, and learning that leadership is earned one decision at a time. She shares what it felt like to break barriers in military aviation, why service continues to guide her work, and how entrepreneurship became another opportunity to solve meaningful problems for others.Greg and Lindsey also explore the surprisingly human side of innovation. The result is technology that feels less like science fiction and more like thoughtful service.Throughout the conversation, Lindsey returns to one central idea. Leadership is not about titles or recognition. It is about helping people move forward with confidence, whether you're leading soldiers, classmates, colleagues, or customers.

God never said, "Hurry up." He said, "Wait." And most of us are terrible at it. In week seven of our summer series, Christine Caine speaks into the season most of us are trying to get through as fast as possible — the waiting room. The season between the promise and the fulfillment. The gap between what God said and what you can currently see. Most of us treat that gap as a problem to be solved or a delay to be endured. Christine Caine makes clear it's neither. It is the place where the deepest roots get formed. She takes us through David's journey, not to show us how he arrived, but to show us what happened in between. Because David didn't just wait. He became. Every stage of the process taught him something he could not have learned any other way. The sheep. The palace. The cave. The wilderness. None of it was wasted. All of it was preparation. Waiting on God is not passive. It is the most active, faith-filled posture you can take. ✨ If you've ever asked questions like… ✅ I feel called and gifted — so why does it feel like nothing is happening? ✅ How do I stay faithful in a season that feels pointless or beneath me? ✅ What do I do when life feels genuinely unfair and God hasn't explained why? ✅ How do I trust God's timing when I'm watching less qualified people get ahead? ✅ Is the hard season I'm in actually preparing me for something or have I missed my moment? ✅ What's the difference between being anointed and being appointed — and what happens in between? ✅ How do I keep turning up when I've been overlooked, misunderstood, or treated unjustly? …then this is your episode.

Moving Towards Stewardship Leaders Make It Better Matthew 25:29 (ESV) — "For to everyone who has more will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away." I've had the privilege of visiting Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris on four separate occasions. Every visit left its own unique impression. The first time, it was the awe of standing beneath those soaring ceilings, seeing the beautiful stained glass and the iconic art. It was nine hundred years of church history silently speaking through the cathedral itself. Notre Dame is a masterpiece. On my second visit, I had the privilege of taking my daughter. It was special experiencing the church through the eyes of a child. You notice things, new things, and appreciate them even more. Then came April 15, 2019. The world watched as fire broke out beneath the roof. For nearly fifteen hours, flames consumed one of the most recognizable structures on Earth. The ancient oak roof collapsed and the iconic spire crashed through the ceiling. For a moment, it felt like history was reduced to ashes. No one thought Notre-Dame could ever be rebuilt. My most recent visit was in 2022, during the restoration. This time the crowds were not there to admire the cathedral, they were watching the craftsmen. Massive scaffolding surrounded the building as stone masons carefully replaced centuries-old limestone, one block at a time. Carpenters hand-shaped oak beams using techniques that had nearly disappeared from history. I later watched a documentary about the restoration and learned that many of these craftsmen had to relearn forgotten skills just to faithfully restore what had been entrusted to them. This is a picture of stewardship in the kingdom! None of those craftsmen were restoring something that belonged to them, they were rebuilding something sacred that was entrusted to them. They gave every stone, every beam, and every detail the care of an owner because they understood their assignment as faithful stewards. Page 1 of 4   Own what you don't own. Grace World isn't nine hundred years old, but it is over ninety. Our church was built by faithful men and women who came before us, and it is now entrusted to us in the same way that one day it will be entrusted to those who come after us. We know that Grace World does not belong to us, it belongs to the Lord. We simply have the privilege of stewarding it for this season. That understanding carries a weight. One day, each of us will give an account for how we led in this season. The question that matters is, did we lead with the heart of the master or did we behave like a foolish servant?   The Talent Was a Test, Not a Reward Jesus tells a parable in Matthew 25 about a master preparing to leave on a journey. Before he departs, he entrusts his property to three servants. He gives them no detailed instructions. He simply places what belongs to him into their hands and leaves. Two of the servants immediately go to work. They invest what they have been entrusted, and each doubles it. When the master returns, he speaks the words every follower of Christ longs to hear, "Well done, good and faithful servant." But the third servant responds differently. Out of fear, he buries his talent in the ground. When the master returns, he explains himself: "I knew you to be a hard man… so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground," (Matthew 25:24-25, ESV). Get this! It is entirely possible to become so afraid of getting it wrong that you bury the very thing God trusted you with. You keep the ministry small enough to manage instead of growing it large enough to require faith. You hold tightly to your roles and responsibilities rather than delegating. You hold off on the decision or the opportunity because it feels risky. You call it being careful. God calls it burying the talent. When the master comes to demand an account, he isn't angry because the servant failed to double the talent like the other two. He is angry because the servant didn't even try. The issue was never what the servant was given. The issue was always what the servant did with what he had been given. THE TALENT WAS NEVER THE REWARD. THE TALENT WAS THE TEST.   "For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away." Matthew 25:29 (ESV) The principle here is clear—God entrusts us before He increases us! We Are Entrusted with Two Treasures Every leader is currently stewarding two kinds of treasure. And it is so much more than finances. These are the decisions, the appointments, the meetings, the ministry, and every conversation you have. Kingdom treasure fits in two different chests.   First — I steward WHAT God places in my hands. These are the resources you are entrusted with. Your time. Your treasure. Your talents. Your opportunities. Every one of them is a Kingdom tool, and every one of them is on loan. Am I maximizing what God has already placed in my hands or am I sitting on it?   Second — I steward WHO God places in my care. These are the relationships you are entrusted with. Your soul. Your family. Your team. Your church. Your neighbor. Kingdom leadership is not the stewardship of programs. It is the stewardship of people. Remember, in the kingdom, we are entrusted with resources so that we can better steward the relationships because in the kingdom, people are the mission!   What A Faithful Steward Knows Everything belongs to God. A faithful steward understands that they own nothing but steward everything. The moment I start treating a role as mine, resources as mine, the platform as mine, results as mine, I am no longer behaving as a faithful steward but a foolish servant. The foolish servant says, "My ministry. My people. My success." They forget that a faithful steward holds everything with an open hand because they know whose hand it actually came from. Stewardship dies the moment our possessions replaces our surrender. Faithfulness comes before increase. God doesn't send more until we've proven faithful with what we already have. Before asking God for more, have you fully stewarded what you already have? Where you see lack, ask two questions. First: Where is waste quietly eating away at my resources and my relationships? And second: Where do I have a surplus I've been protecting instead of investing? The increase you're praying for usually walks in through the door of the small thing you've been faithful with. God is watching how you steward the little before He entrusts you with the large. 3. Stewardship is measured by multiplication, not accumulation. God does not measure what you accumulate. He measures what multiplies because it passed through your hands. Everything that passes through a faithful steward should become more fruitful. That means the ministry is healthier, the leaders are more capable, and the people are further along than when you first met them. This means the ultimate test of your stewardship is not what you hold on to but what you hand off. That is our assignment. Not to accumulate resources and relationships around ourselves but to steward those things so well that we hand them back to the Lord stronger than the day it was handed to us. If your area of ministry could not survive your absence, you have been accumulating. If it is being built to outlast you, you are multiplying it. Putting Your Talent to Work Carry your area like the outcome is yours to answer for. Notice the broken thing before  it becomes a crisis. Invest the talent instead of burying it out of fear. Treat the people entrusted to you as a trust you will one day give an account for. We are all stewards of something we did not build and will not lay the final stone in place. We are the current stewards. Ninety-two years of faithfulness came before us, and generations will come after us. We are craftsmen on a very long project. Refuse to be the ones who cut corners or fail to invest in the present. Carry this house with the master's heart one stone, one beam, one leader, one person at a time. Questions What am I under-stewarding? What gift, person, or opportunity have I been sitting on instead of investing? What have I over-controlled instead of entrusted? Where have I buried a talent by holding on too tightly and calling it "being careful"? Who needs more of my attention than my agenda? Which person entrusted to me have I been managing around instead of investing in? What resource am I sitting on instead of multiplying? What has God already placed in my hands that I keep meaning to put to work? If God evaluated my stewardship today, where would He say "Well done" and where would He ask me to grow?

Patrick Ryan is the author of "The Moral Market: Adam Smith and the Promise of Virtuous Capitalism." Patrick argues that capitalism was never intended to be separated from morality. Modern business leaders often treat ethics as a compliance issue or a reputational concern. Adam Smith saw it differently. He believed markets only function when they are built on justice, reciprocity, and trust. In this conversation, Patrick explains how shareholder primacy reshaped leadership thinking, why leaders should measure success beyond short-term financial performance, and how Smith's concept of the impartial spectator can help leaders make better decisions when competing interests collide. For leaders trying to balance performance, responsibility, and long-term value creation, this conversation offers a practical framework for making decisions that are both effective and principled.

Watch this Episode on YouTube | Patrick Ryan on The Leadership Idea We Missed for 250 Years https://bit.ly/TLP-519 Key Moments [04:20] What have leaders fundamentally misunderstood about capitalism as a moral system? [08:44] How does the duty of care in law connect to Smith's impartial spectator concept? [12:40] What practices should leaders adopt to institutionalize the impartial spectator? [15:53] Performative leadership versus legitimate storytelling. [21:14] Where does the rules and system play versus personal responsibility in leadership? [25:25] Where have you personally struggled between what's profitable and what's just? [28:53] For busy leaders without time to reflect—what's your closing advice? Memorable Quotes "Morality is not a friction. It's actually the lubricant that makes markets work." "Prosperity without justice is mere plunder." "He believed that economic exchange was a way of creating trust, which is quite interesting really, using capital, an early form of capitalism, using competition, using economic exchange as a way of creating a commonality as opposed to splitting people apart." "Morality and respect, and that level of reciprocity is the oil that generates everything. It's not extractive, it's value additive." "If a leader that performs integrity creates a culture that performs integrity, rather than a leader that is and has integrity. The tone from the top. It's vitally important." "Legitimate storytelling is the honest description of something that's actually happening. It's not a dishonest description of something you would like to happen." "The majority of us want to live a happy, healthy life where we have created value for our companies, we've created happiness in our families, we've done good works for our communities, and we're able to point to that and be proud that we've made that difference." "You should neither be rewarded nor penalized for moral luck. You should be rewarded or penalized for the actions that you took yourself and the effect that you had in creating value."

What if failure isn't the opposite of winning — but the gift that makes it possible? In Part 2 of this two-part conversation, Your Health CEO Matt Staub opens up about the present he gave himself at 40: permission to fail. Then he shows what that looks like when life tests it — walking Jamie through a 2025 that brought prostate cancer, his daughter's surgery, the loss of his father, and professional hardship, and the quiet strength it takes to look back and say, "That was a good try. I'm still here. I'm hard to beat." In this episode, you'll hear: How Matt reframes a loss into a "fall forward" — and the simple habit he uses to do it The agonizing leadership question of when to let someone you care about fail Why accountability, done right, is one of the best gifts you can give a friend The danger of only celebrating big wins — and how complacency quietly creeps in Why the only voice that truly matters is the one inside your own head If you missed Part 1, start there for the full arc. Then settle in here for the deeper, more personal half — and walk away with a new relationship to the losses in your own life.

Your circumstances haven't changed. The storm is still there. So why are you so calm? That's not a problem. That's a testimony. In week six of our summer series, Christine Caine takes us into one of the most practical and quietly radical things a believer can do in a chaotic world: refuse to let your heart spiral. Drawing on Philippians 4:6–7 and John 14, she shows that the peace of God isn't the absence of storms — every single one of us is either heading into one, standing in the middle of one, or coming out of one. Peace isn't what happens when the storm stops. It's what guards your heart while it's still raging. In this episode, Christine Caine unpacks the military language behind Philippians 4:7, the peace of God standing guard like a Roman soldier stationed at the gates of your heart, and makes the case that supernatural peace in the middle of chaos is one of the most powerful witnessing tools a believer has. She's honest about a recent situation that could have sent her spiraling, and shares what it looked like to actually apply Paul's instruction: pray about it, give it to God, and go to bed. Not because the situation was resolved, but because God never sleeps. The takeaway that will stay with you: don't lose your peace over something you can do nothing about. Take it to the only one who can do something about everything. ✨ If you've ever asked questions like… ✅ How do I stop my mind from spiraling when something scary or uncertain is happening? ✅ Is it possible to genuinely have peace when my circumstances are still a mess? ✅ What does it actually mean to give something to God — and how do I stop picking it back up? ✅ Why does it feel like I'm not allowed to be at peace, like I don't care enough if I'm not worrying? ✅ How do I trust God when I can't see Him doing anything about my situation? ✅ What does biblical peace actually feel like and how is it different from just numbing out? ✅ How do I guard my heart without shutting down or pretending everything is fine? …then this is your episode.

Most companies recruit interns to take work off someone's plate. Your Health does the opposite — and it's why several of its current executives, including a Chief Information Officer, first walked in the door as interns. In this episode, Jamie sits down with Heather Bower, Director of Experiential Learning, who has taken the reins of Your Health's internship, mentorship, preceptorship, and apprenticeship programs. Heather shares how a long-standing program is being rebuilt with structure, data, and intention — organized into semester cohorts, anchored by a four-day all-company orientation, and designed so every intern owns a project with genuine stakes. In this conversation, you'll hear: Why "get interns because they're cheap" is exactly the wrong spirit — and what replaces it How one MBA intern's shadowing experience redirected him toward nursing school The "spreadsheet whisperer" intern who taught regional leadership to pull data faster What surprises interns most once they're inside healthcare: the human complexity How Your Health uses feedback loops to move interns toward roles where they'll actually shine If you're early in your career and unsure where you fit, this episode is a map to possibilities you may not know exist. Press play and rethink what an internship can really be. www.YourHealth.Org

The God Factor | Jabin Chavez Leadership Podcast by Jabin Chavez

Jill Schulman is a keynote speaker, Marine Corps veteran, and bestselling author of "The Bravery Effect: A Parable Teaching the Science of Conquering Fear, Achieving More, and Living Life to the Fullest.". Jill argues that bravery is not a personality trait. It's a skill. Most people assume brave people are simply wired differently. The research suggests something else: bravery is built through repeated action in the presence of fear. In this conversation, Jill explains why comfort is often the biggest obstacle to growth, what people get wrong about bravery, and how leaders can create environments where individuals are willing to take risks, speak up, and stretch beyond what feels safe. She also shares the three-stage framework behind her work and why bravery is a prerequisite for learning, innovation, and leadership. For anyone trying to grow, lead change, or help others reach their potential, this conversation offers a practical look at how bravery is developed and why it matters.

"Each time you take a step forward in the presence of fear, you take a little bit of the power away from the fear and then your self confidence goes up a little bit more." "Fear is a signpost that is pointing us toward the thing that we should do versus something we should run away from." "We are born to strive. So it's the struggle that makes us stronger." "When we challenge ourselves by doing the hard things, psychologically, our brain changes." "Taking a step, not feeling ready is how you feel more ready in the future."

Most people think of a Marine general and picture a lifetime of infantry commands and combat deployments. They'd be right about Dave Bellon but they'd be missing half the story.In this conversation, Lieutenant General Dave Bellon (Ret.) pulls back the curtain on the parts of his career he rarely talks about: switching from JAG officer to infantry lieutenant, back to JAG, and into a capital murder defense case that put him at the center of one of Camp Pendleton's most high-profile court martials defending a Marine convicted of killing a fellow officer in broad daylight. Then there's the story of Task Force Scorpion, a rocket strike that took out a regimental commander within days of his arrival, and a chaplain who cleared the room and gave two majors communion before sending them back to fight.Dave and I have been friends since TBS, and this episode is about what you learn watching someone you've known since they were a lieutenant become a three-star general and what he learned along the way about command, compassion, humility, and what actually matters when the uniform comes off.FOLLOW, SUBSCRIBE, AND SUPPORTJoin the Moments in Leadership Supercast communityhttps://mil.supercast.com/Apple Podcastshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/moments-in-leadership/id1547856712Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/1hQl53NzCiJwlWS9xQZFw9YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@MomentsinLeadershipOfficial Websitehttps://www.momentsinleadership.com

What do you do when you've prayed and nothing has changed? You go again. In week 5 of our summer series, Christine Caine takes us to Elijah on the summit of Carmel: face between his knees, praying in the dark, sending his servant back to the horizon seven times before a cloud the size of a man's hand finally appears. Most of us go once. Maybe twice. Maybe three times. But the fourth, fifth, sixth time — that's where most people stop. That's where faith gets tested not by what we see, but by what we don't. Elijah heard the sound of rain before a single drop fell. That gap, between what you hear in the spirit and what you can see in the natural, is what Christine Caine calls the faith zone. And it's where every one of us will be asked to live. We've committed to the direction. Now comes the test: what do you do when you keep going and it's still hard? Resilience isn't the absence of exhaustion. It's the willingness to eat the bread God puts in front of you and get up one more time. ✨ If you've ever asked questions like… ✅ I've been praying for the same thing for years and nothing has changed — should I keep going? ✅ How do I pray with faith and expectation when I'm exhausted and discouraged? ✅ What do I do when God feels silent and I can't see anything happening? ✅ How do I hold onto peace without ignoring the reality of what I'm facing? ✅ What does persistent prayer actually look like in everyday life? ✅ Is it okay to feel like giving up — and what do I do when I get there? ✅ How do I keep believing for a miracle when I've seen nothing for so long? …then this is your episode.
