Send us a textWhat if everything we thought we knew about leadership was wrong? Jenny Robinson, a successful Kiwi entrepreneur with five thriving businesses spanning three decades, has discovered something remarkable about how true leadership emerges.When Jenny began her PhD research on leadership, she made a startling realization: despite a century of academic study, we lack a predictive model of leadership. This prompted her to strip away all preconceptions and ask a fundamental question: "What would leadership look like if we didn't know what leadership looks like?"Her search for answers led her to study natural systems, where recent science reveals something counterintuitive - nature thrives through collaboration rather than just competition. Trees share resources, information, and medicine with neighboring trees when in proximity. This insight became the foundation for a revolutionary approach to understanding how humans lead.Jenny and her colleague Phil Renshaw were inspired to create "Leadership on the Go" and author "Coaching on the Go," offering practical guidance for implementing collaborative leadership approaches. Their innovative tool "Gizmo" helps teams develop the skills needed for collaborative leadership without the stigma of traditional assessments. Now working across 25 countries in five languages, they've found that groups worldwide consistently identify the same key elements for effective collaboration.Want to transform your leadership approach?

Today, Mike and Tim discuss the implications of current events, the responsibilities of Christians towards marginalized communities, and the concept of cruciformity in relation to leadership and community engagement. The dialogue emphasizes the need for empathy, awareness, and a commitment to serving others in the face of societal challenges. In this conversation, Mike and Tim explore the transformation of church leadership and community through the lens of grace and cruciformity. They critique the consumer-driven metrics of success in churches, emphasizing the need for a shift towards a more authentic and vulnerable leadership style that prioritizes love and community over prestige and power. The discussion highlights the dangers of traditional leadership models and the importance of fostering a culture that values people and their growth. But first... Andor? Sinners? Beyonce'? "I am an individual with an inalienable bill of rights and constitutional freedoms; I am an American citizen, promised upward mobility and a shot at the American dream if I just work hard and believe in myself; I am a consumer of religious goods and services, church shopping until I find a church that meets my needs; I am engaged in a culture war that can only be won through the exercise of political power against my political opponents who are ruining our country..." or "I am one of the ‘holy ones,' and a minister, formerly dead and enslaved, but now, because of the mercy of God, I am alive and rescued into a newly reconciled human community, called the church. Belonging now to the new humanity, I am saved and transformed utterly by grace, so that the basis of all human boasting, status seeking, and rivalry has been removed. I am therefore free to receive others as gifts and siblings."

Masculine traits. Feminine traits. Can we please stop gendering leadership skills and focus instead on the human traits that will enable us to thrive?Today, I speak with culture and leadership expert Moe Carrick about gender traits in leadership. We discuss the traditional leadership narratives and the negative impact that has on both men and women in the workplace. We talk about the crisis for men and boys right now and why men are falling behind in all sectors. Moe shares the difference between emotionality and emotional intelligence and how we can help debunk outdated myths of masculinity. And she shares some great stories from past clients and what they were able to achieve as a leadership team in tough times when they embraced emotional intelligence and vulnerability. We dissect the current backlash toward more "masculine” energy in the workplace, which will only hinder our innovation and success, and the role women leaders can play to encourage healthier, more emotionally grounded leadership. To access the episode transcript, please search for the episode title at www.TheEmpathyEdge.comKey Takeaways:Gender has nothing to do with being a successful leader. While some traits may be considered more masculine or feminine in energy, skills are not gendered - they are all human traits.There is a difference between emotionality and emotional intelligence. Emotionality is unmetabolized emotional expression. Emotional intelligence is a source of data helping us navigate emotionality.Everyone needs to resist their own internal messaging about what good leadership looks like - it is not command and control or blaming and shaming. It is empathy and collaboration. "If we're going to encourage male vulnerability and male emotions in the same ways we experience and give women permission to express feelings, we need to be prepared to not jump into fixing and solving what they're struggling with." — Moe CarrickEpisode References:The Empathy Edge: Pam Fox Rollin: How to Grow Your Group Into a TeamThe Athena Doctrine By John Gerzema and Michael D'AntonioAtlas of the Heart by Brené BrownRichard Reeves: Institute for Men and BoysSuitsFrom Our Partner:SparkEffect partners with organizations to unlock the full potential of their greatest asset: their people.

Opportunities can often be misleading, understanding your purpose is crucial. Kelani Blackwell, a prominent figure in the business landscape, emphasizes that not all money is good money and not all opportunities are beneficial. She believes that without a strong foundation and a clear purpose, one can easily be distracted by seemingly lucrative offers.It wasn't until her late twenties that Kelani began to understand her purpose. She realized that hard work alone wasn't enough—it was essential to align her efforts with her true calling. This realization came after years of navigating various challenges, including identity struggles and the pressures of fitting in.Kelani's journey into entrepreneurship was not a straight path. Her determination to go against the grain and not take "no" for an answer became her strength.Kelani's core belief is that relationships are fundamental to success. She encourages individuals to build connections based on mutual value rather than transactional interactions. Kelani advocates for leading with value, making deposits in relationships before expecting withdrawals. This approach fosters trust and collaboration.In her community, Women in Real Estate (W.I.R.E.), Kelani has created a platform that supports women in navigating the complexities of the real estate industry. The community focuses on mentorship, accountability, and providing resources to help women succeed.In a world filled with distractions and challenges, finding your tribe and operating in your purpose can lead to fulfillment and success. Kelani's story serves as an inspiration for all aspiring entrepreneurs, reminding us that with hard work, authenticity, and the right support, anything is possible.Get in touch with Kelani and follow her on social media

This interview delves into Steven Kuhn's "Humble Alpha" concept, focusing on internal strength and authenticity. Kuhn emphasizes discovering one's true identity through self-reflection and external feedback, culminating in a two-word moniker. He champions certainty and "HIT" principles (honesty, integrity, transparency) as foundations for leadership. Kuhn's experience includes working with figures like Andrea Bocelli and Olivia Newton-John, facilitating their business optimization. 1 He stresses seizing opportunities by expanding awareness and connecting existing skills across different fields. Kuhn's personal journey, including a period in a monastery, underscores the importance of self-discovery. #HumbleAlpha #Leadership #Authenticity #SelfDiscovery #PersonalGrowth #BusinessOptimization #Entrepreneurship #Identity #Mentorship #StevenKuhn https://steven-kuhn.com/ Key Takeaways: 2:14 On my way to Easter Island! 2:54 Trump vs. the dictators 5:18 Beauty and the economy of Santiago, Chile 7:02 Inflation in Argentina and Venezuela 8:47 Get your tickets to https://empoweredinvestorlive.com/ and get a FREE TICKET to Rebel Capitalist Live Steven Kuhn interview 9:35 Meet Steve and knowing your operating system 12:05 Who are you?

In this episode of Partnering Leadership, Mahan Tavakoli is joined by Anders Indset, a renowned business philosopher, leadership thinker, and author of The Viking Code. As organizations navigate the rapid rise of AI, economic volatility, and shifting workforce dynamics, Indset challenges leaders to rethink how they lead, make decisions, and create value in a world that increasingly rewards speed over wisdom.Drawing on insights from The Viking Code and his broader work on leadership and philosophy, Indset explores why many leaders today are trapped in reaction mode—constantly responding to crises instead of shaping the future. He argues that leadership must evolve beyond traditional models of efficiency and optimization, as AI will always outperform humans in those areas. Instead, he makes a compelling case for leaders to cultivate deep thinking, creativity, and the ability to balance trust with friction—elements that AI cannot replicate.Indset also introduces the idea of a “Declaration of Interdependence,” where leadership is no longer about individual success but the ability to foster collaboration, challenge assumptions, and navigate uncertainty. He breaks down how leaders can create high-performance cultures that embrace both collective intelligence and individual growth, ensuring that organizations don't just keep up but stay ahead in an era of transformation.Throughout the conversation, Indset and Tavakoli dive into how CEOs and senior executives can develop the mental models, frameworks, and mindset shifts needed to lead effectively in the years ahead.

What does it mean to lead in weakness rather than strength? In this episode, Loren Richmond Jr. talks with Rev. Dr. Andrew Draper, co-author of Disabling Leadership: A Practical Theology for the Broken Body of Christ. Together, they explore how the church can redefine leadership away from power, charisma, and productivity toward humility, inclusion, and community-driven authority. Andrew shares insights from his work in disability theology, church leadership, and reconciliation, discussing how leadership must embrace human limitation and interdependence rather than seeking control or dominance. They also dive into the challenges of deconstruction and critical theory, why Christian nationalism and secular humanism are both flawed responses to uncertainty, and how churches can better align their practices with their values of inclusion. Rev. Dr. Andrew T. Draper is the Executive Director of Winebrenner Theological Seminary in Findlay, OH. He is also teaching pastor at Urban Light Community Church in Muncie, IN. He has authored numerous books and articles on race, disability, and the church. Dr. Draper holds a PhD in theological ethics from the University of Aberdeen and an MDiv from Winebrenner Theological Seminary.

Pastor Andrew Burchfield's sermon, "Keep the Faith In The Marketplace," encourages listeners to integrate their faith with their work and daily lives, viewing the marketplace as an essential place for ministry and leadership. The sermon reframes conventional ideas about leadership, wealth, and the role of faith in professional settings, inviting believers to see their work as a calling and an opportunity to positively influence the world around them. Redefining Leadership and Marketplace: Pastor Andrew reinterprets conventional definitions, broadening their scope to include everyday interactions and environments [1]. Leadership: Leadership is defined not by title or position but by the ability to positively influence the atmosphere and attitudes of others daily [2]. This definition encompasses various roles, including parents, employers, and employees [2]. Marketplace: The marketplace is any arena where conversations and influence occur, extending beyond traditional business settings to include schools, volunteer work, and even casual encounters at grocery stores [3, 4]. According to Pastor Andrew, the marketplace is a space for meaning, influence, and moments that honor Jesus [5]. Biblical Basis for Prosperity: The sermon addresses common misconceptions about wealth and Christianity, arguing that God empowers individuals to create wealth and achieve success [6]. Deuteronomy 8:18: This scripture is foundational, asserting that God gives people the power to generate wealth [6]. The sermon references multiple translations to highlight different aspects of this power [6, 7]: NIV: God gives the ability to produce wealth [6]. New Living Translation: God gives the power to be successful [7]. Amplified Bible: God gives the power to make wealth, remembered with profound respect [7]. Pastor Andrew clarifies that the ability to create wealth does not negate the need for hard work or the potential for hardship [6]. Old Testament Examples: The sermon cites numerous figures to illustrate that faith and prosperity are not mutually exclusive [8, 9]: Abraham: A wealthy livestock owner [8]. Isaac: Successful in agriculture [8]. Jacob: Managed large flocks and strategically bred animals [8]. Joseph: Managed a national food supply chain in Egypt [9]. Boaz: A wealthy landowner and grain merchant [9]. Solomon: Involved in international trade and shipping [9]. Lydia: A seller of purple cloth [9]. New Testament Examples: Peter, Andrew, James, and John: Fishermen before becoming disciples [9]. Matthew: A tax collector before becoming a disciple [9]. Practical Ways to Keep Faith in the Marketplace: Pastor Andrew offers practical guidance on integrating faith into daily interactions and professional conduct. He shares four ways to keep the faith in the marketplace, noting that six more are available on bwc.online [10]. Conversations: Words have the power to shape the world [10]. Referenced Scripture: Colossians 4:6 advises that speech should be gracious and thoughtful [11]. Character: Personal integrity influences one's impact [12]. Referenced Scripture: Proverbs 10:9 states that integrity ensures security [12]. Creativity: Innovation is a divine gift for solving problems and shaping the future [13]. Story of Bezalel from Exodus 31:2-5, who was gifted in creating the Tabernacle and Ark of the Covenant [14]. Consistency: Consistent actions create significant influence [15]. Referenced Book: The Atomic Habit by James Clear highlights the power of small, incremental improvements [15]. Referenced Scripture: Luke 16:10 emphasizes faithfulness in small matters [15]. Analogy of a Guitar: To underscore the importance of consistency, Pastor Andrew uses the analogy of a guitar. He explains that just as each string on a guitar must be properly tuned to create harmonious music, different areas of our lives (emotions, appearance, desires, physical health, and eternal perspective) must be consistent to live in harmony with God's will [16, 17]. Each string represents a different note: E, A, D, G, B, and E [16]. When one aspect is out of tune, it affects the overall quality and effectiveness of our lives and witness in the marketplace [16, 17].

Putting on the Crown to truly Redefine Leadership in Your Business Attend my next LIVE MASTERCLASS and learn all about my MASTERMIND: https://www.randacarrabba.com/icon-collective/ PART 1: The Red Sea Breakthrough: The Ultimate Leadership Example from Moses Today, we're not just talking about growing, scaling and building a business. We're putting on our crown - recognizing the royal identity God has assigned us. Personal Breakdown Story 3.5-year app development journey Hitting operational rock bottom Divine interruption narrative [Biblical Context: Exodus 14 - Red Sea Moment] Israelites trapped between Egyptian army and sea Moses' leadership under extreme pressure Scriptures: Exodus 14:14: "The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still." I've had to become to be ok with being the “bad guy” for a lot of people I'm called to serve? Yes, they're Christians. Yes, they're great people and Yes I'm still serving them, but their fear overtakes them and that's when the true test of my leadership has to shine through like Moses. Recent experience with two loved ones: One in seemingly good spot One fighting for life Profound faith perspective God crafting struggles FOR you, not TO you Transformation Insight Struggles are preparing you Elevating your purpose Positioning you to steward others My 3.5-year app development journey wasn't just a business challenge - it was a divine transformation. Going massively over budget, feeling completely overwhelmed, I was being prepared for something greater. Those struggles were: Preparing me to become a more empathetic leader Elevating my understanding of true resilience Positioning me to steward entrepreneurs through their own challenges When I was in the thick of it, I couldn't see the purpose. But now? I realize God was systematically breaking down my old leadership model to rebuild me into someone who could truly serve at a higher level. Just like my recent experience with two loved ones - one seemingly in a good spot, another fighting for life - the most powerful perspective often comes from our deepest challenges. These struggles aren't punishments. They're purposeful interruptions designed to: Refine your leadership Expand your capacity for empathy Prepare you to serve in ways you can't yet imagine
