Simple Succession episode 3 is here, a podcast series focused on helping churches navigate leadership transitions well. This week, Rusty George welcomes Dave Stone and Kyle Idleman to discuss the widely noticed successions at Southeast Christian Church from Bob Russell to Dave and then Dave to Kyle. Dave shares how Bob gradually increased his preaching, publicly affirmed him (including sitting front-row when Dave preached), and announced him as successor seven years in advance before handing off earlier than expected to avoid becoming a lame duck. Dave and Kyle explain how Kyle was first identified as a gifted young preacher, gained experience planting a church, then returned to join the teaching team without early public promises of succession, building trust through loyalty and inclusion in leadership. They discuss generational dynamics, managing change, resisting insecurity and “head games,” practical communication, benefits of timing and early wins, and what they're doing now, including Dave's Pastor to Pastor podcast and Kyle's book The Missing Messiah.
Rusty George introduces the Simple Succession podcast series on Simple Faith and interviews outgoing Willow Creek Community Church pastor Dave Dummitt and his successor, Shawn Williams, about their leadership transition. Dave explains how he knew it was time to step down after about five years by evaluating a defined list of goals and considering the church's upcoming 50th anniversary, then encouraging elders to vet Shawn while maintaining the decision as an elder-led process. Shawn describes moving back to Chicagoland, joining Willow to support Dave without aiming to become senior pastor, and how a two-year early conversation and added opportunities prepared him to lead. They discuss gradual “baton passes” with staff, elders, donors, and the congregation, the increased weight Shawn felt on day one, team-structure changes he made, Dave's post-transition sabbatical-like time, and the importance of honoring each other, patience, and seeking outside counsel.
Senior leaders are often judged in moments they could not plan for. Mark Thurmond's path from sales rep to co-CEO of Tenable was built through consistent execution, difficult operating assignments, and crises that demanded calm before certainty. He explains what the RSA breach taught him about transparency and customer trust, how he and Steve Vintz kept Tenable moving after the death of CEO Amit Yoran, and why the strongest leaders build followership before they need it. The conversation also covers choosing learning over title, using AI to raise seller productivity, and leading a product-to-platform shift as a company-wide operating change. Mark Thurmond is Co-Chief Executive Officer of Tenable, where he oversees the company's go-to-market functions across sales, marketing, customer success, professional services, and technical support. His career includes senior operating and sales leadership roles at EMC, RSA, Qlik, and Turbonomic. Connect with Mark: LinkedIn Key takeaways from this episode: 00:00 - What early international experience teaches leaders about operating across markets, cultures, and teams. 04:34 - Why transparency during a crisis can strengthen customer trust instead of weakening it. 10:19 - What leaders must control when uncertainty, emotion, and outside pressure start to take over. 12:22 - Why rigid career planning can distract high performers from the opportunities that actually move them forward. 15:05 - What a leader's ability to attract former colleagues reveals about their credibility and influence. 17:04 - Why the most valuable career moves often create discomfort before they create advancement. 29:00 - A look inside what leadership demands when personal grief and business continuity collide. 34:08 - What executives often overlook about the connection between proactive health and decision-making capacity. 41:30 - Why a company's approach to AI partnerships may determine whether it separates or falls behind. 53:00 - What many leaders underestimate about moving from a product business to a platform strategy.

You are a seasoned and established leader, and opportunity knocks at your door for another level of authority. What happens if you say yes to your next transition in leadership? My guest, Amy Throw, answered this call and is here to share her experience. Amy has spent over 15 years in the styling and fashion industry, helping women build confidence, poise, and influence by aligning who they are with how they are experienced in every room they enter. Although widely recognized as an expert fashion stylist and Executive Presence Coach, she joins us today to pull back the curtain on a different kind of transformation. A significant leadership transition. Recently, a promotion took her from leading a team of 20 to directing 56 people—many of whom had just been her peers. For a leader naturally wired for fast-paced action, this next chapter demanded a complete shift in mindset. She had to intentionally slow down, reshape her rhythm, and learn to cast a higher-level vision while developing leaders who could grow their own teams with clarity. Amy understands that even the best of leaders have seasons of growth, and her story will inspire you to take that next step and increase your level of impact not only in your life, but in those you are called to lead.

There will come a time when it's your turn to step down and someone else's turn to step into leadership, but how do you do that in a way that doesn't leave hurt feelings, confusion, frustration, or a community that feels unstable? Too often leaders wait until burnout, conflict, or exhaustion forces the transition. But healthy transitions don't happen accidentally, they are built intentionally. In this episode, we're talking about The Art of Passing the Torch, practical strategies for both offboarding current leaders well and onboarding new leaders with clarity, support, and confidence so the mission continues long after your season ends.

Dr. Steven Flanagan is Howard A. Rusk Professor of Rehabilitation Medicine and Chairperson of the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine at Rusk. He provides care for patients with physical and cognitive disabilities. He specializes in treating those who are recuperating from a stroke or brain injury. He is accompanied in this interview by Dr. Jonathan Whiteson who holds the rank of professor in both the Department of Medicine and the Department of Rehabilitation at Rusk Rehabilitation. Dr. Whiteson's skills and expertise focus on patients recovering from coronary and lung conditions. Part 3 The discussion included the following topics: measures used to monitor patient safety, quality of care, and patient satisfaction during the transition period; approaches to dealing with staff burnout; challenges that continue to exist after 18 years when positive outcomes proved highly difficult to achieve; and the likelihood that any new clinical divisions will be created at Rusk or the number of residency slots and accredited fellowships will be increased.

This episode was originally recorded in March 2025. Today, we are breaking down the global alternative asset manager, Apollo. I reflected on my personal experiences with Apollo for this episode, and there's a saying that hard work can beat talent when talent doesn't work hard. Well, Apollo has talent, and Apollo works really damn hard. They will do everything they can to protect their capital, so if you're on the other side of the table from them, you never feel fully comfortable. I am joined by Hunter Hopcroft, a financial analyst and writer based in New York. We get into what makes Apollo, Apollo, and Hunter share the backstory of how it was born out of Drexel Burnham and Michael Milkin's DNA. We get into some of the early deals, the theme craving complexity, how they differ from the KKR or Blackstone, and the future of the industry.

Most organizations take their best performer, hand them a title, and call it a promotion. What they don't tell that person is that everything that made them great at their job is now working against them. In this first installment of a two-part conversation, Jamie sits down with Matt Whitehead — Chief Ancillary Officer at Your Health — to explore one of the most overlooked transitions in healthcare leadership: the shift from being an exceptional doer to becoming a leader others will actually follow. In this episode: Why the moment Matt stepped into his first nursing home administrator role cracked the foundation of everything he thought he knew about leadership The dangerous myth that new leaders walk in as "instant experts" — and how that belief causes their teams to start managing them Why the dopamine hit of checking things off a to-do list disappears in leadership, and what you have to build to replace it How to delegate without losing your mind — and why being crystal clear on outcomes matters more than anything else Why conflict is never a problem to be eliminated — it's information to be used This episode is for every high-performer who has stepped into a leadership role and felt the ground shift beneath them. You're not alone — and it's not a flaw. It's the beginning. www.YourHealth.Org
