As a young academic professional, Mary Ellen Jukoski, age 75, wondered: “Where are the female college presidents? I want to become one.” So, she did, serving the first 20 years as President of Mitchell College in Connecticut where she transformed a struggling two-year institution into a thriving four-year college, inspired by her feminine leadership style of inclusiveness and collaboration. Her special mission has been to mentor young women to seek and succeed at leadership roles. She credits her husband, Matt, for supporting her cherished career while they raised their daughter. In 2024, Mary Ellen and Matt moved to an independent living community where they can be closer to their daughter and her family and enjoy social and intellectual stimulation. Meeting many women in their 90s, Mary Ellen expresses new appreciation for the notion that “age doesn't' define the person.” As she contemplates retirement, Mary Ellen looks forward to a new purpose. She says, “It's all about having a positive attitude and being open to opportunities.” As a leader, I come to serve, not to be served; I am a presence, being there for others. - Mary Ellen JukoskiConnect with Mary EllenEmail: maryellen.jukoski@ctstate.eduMary Ellen Jukoski, Ed.D. - CT StateSponsor AppreciationPlymouth Place, LaGrange Park, IL., where senior living is redefined with options and opportunities to fit individual needs and preferences. https://plymouthplace.org Plymouth Place is the Diamond Sponsor for our Symposium, October 8, 2025.Podcast CollaboratorThis month's podcast recommendation (member of Aging-Well Collective) is Host Beverly Glazer, Aging With Purpose and Passion, a weekly podcast inspiring women over 50 to embrace bold life shifts, and unlock their potential, through captivating stories from trailblazing senior women. https://www.agingwithpurposeandpassion.com

In dieser Episode unterhalten sich Andreas und Shahzeeb ausnahmsweise "live und in Farbe" gemeinsam in einem Raum, in Starnberg. Das nie alternde Thema dieser Unterhaltung ist: Wie wird gerade in (wirtschaftlich) schwierigen Zeiten effektiv/erfolgreich geführt? Entgegen der natürlichen Intuition: indem man loslässt. Micro Management dominiert gerade jetzt in vielen Unternehmen in Deutschland, da wir derzeitig in wirtschaftlich schwierigen Zeiten sind, und der erste Reflex vieler Führungskräfte ist, "Ich muss hier wieder 100%ige Transparenz und Kontrolle herstellen". Aber das ist genau der falsche Schluss. Und hier können wir von einem der besten Leader aller Zeiten lernen: Phil Jackson - Phil wer? Kennt Ihr noch Michael Jordan, alias "The GOAT" (Greatest Of All Time)? - wenn ja, Phil war sein legendärer Trainer, der mit seinen elf gewonnenen Meisterschaften (mit den Chicago Bulls und LA Lakers) ungeschlagen ist. Wir lernen von Jackson nicht nur wie (exzentrische) Alpha-Spieler zu Team-Playern werden, sondern wann Kontrolle der Freiheit weichen muss, um das System atmen zu lassen und Spielern ihren Raum zu geben, damit sie wieder Höchstleistungen entwickeln können. In dieser Episode wagen Andreas und Shahzeeb sogar einen Seitensprung weg von Basketball zum Fußball und eruieren, was es mit Christiano Ronaldo's breitbeinigem Stand auf sich hat.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to Mike Howells from Lakeville, MN. Thank you for your partnership with us through Project23. You're helping spread God's Word to hearts that are hungry for truth. This one's for you. Our text today is Mark 10:35-45: And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came up to him and said to him, “Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you.” And he said to them, “What do you want me to do for you?” And they said to him, “Grant us to sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your glory.” Jesus said to them, “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or to be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?” And they said to him, “We are able.” And Jesus said to them, “The cup that I drink you will drink, and with the baptism with which I am baptized, you will be baptized, but to sit at my right hand or at my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared.” And when the ten heard it, they began to be indignant at James and John. And Jesus called them to him and said to them, “You know that those who are considered rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. But it shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be slave of all. For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” — Mark 10:35-45 They asked for thrones. Jesus pointed them to a cross. James and John want glory seats. They want to have status next to Jesus in His kingdom. But they don't understand what kind of King he is—or what kind of kingdom he's bringing. Jesus gently pushes back. “You don't know what you're asking.” He speaks of a cup of suffering. A baptism of pain. He's not headed for a throne just yet. First, he'll serve. Then, he'll bleed. Last, he'll give his life. And then Jesus delivers one of the most explicit mission statements in all of Scripture. His mission. One worth pursuing that's better than a seat on the right and left of the throne: “The Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” In a world obsessed with climbing the ladder, Jesus sees his mission differently. The path to true greatness is not up—it's down. Down into humility. Down into service. Down into sacrifice. And here's the irony: the greatest person in the room is telling the secret to descending into greatness. So, stop chasing a name for yourself and start serving the Name above all names. Don't ask, “How high can I rise?” Instead ask, “How low can I go—for Jesus?” #ServeLikeJesus, #TrueGreatness, #Project23 ASK THIS: What are some subtle ways you chase status or recognition? Why do you think Jesus connects suffering with greatness? How does Jesus redefine leadership and authority in this passage? What is one practical way you can serve someone today? DO THIS: Serve someone today without needing thanks. Just do it—for Jesus. PRAY THIS: Jesus, I confess that I chase status and recognition. Help me embrace true greatness—humble, sacrificial, and patterned after you. Amen. PLAY THIS: “Jesus, Son of God” by Chris Tomlin.

In this episode, Dr. Joseph Michelli delves into leadership during crises, sharing insights from his book "Stronger Through Adversity," based on conversations with over 140 leaders during the pandemic. He emphasizes the importance of frequent communication, prioritizing team well-being, and modeling calm and optimism. Leaders can navigate uncertainty and inspire resilience by empowering others to act, adapting quickly, and celebrating small wins. Dr. Michelli challenges listeners to reflect on their communication effectiveness, emotional support for their team, and their crisis management behaviors. Listeners can access a detailed infographic based on this podcast from Joseph's website. Additionally, those wanting to speak to Joseph are encouraged to contact him directly.

"For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." Mark 10:45 “Lead by Serving.” This powerful statement encapsulates the essence of true leadership, just as highlighted in Mark 10:45. In a world often driven by power and authority, Jesus demonstrated that the greatest leaders are those who choose to uplift others through their service. His life is a shining example of how humility and selflessness can lead to profound change in the lives of those around us. Think about the moments in your life when you felt most inspired. Often, it's not the grand gestures that leave a lasting impact but the small acts of kindness and service. Ronald Reagan once said, "The greatest leader is not necessarily the one who does the greatest things. He is the one who gets the people to do the greatest things." As you reflect on this, consider how you can encourage and empower those in your community. By serving others, you can ignite their potential and help them achieve greatness. John 13:14-15 says, "So if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another's feet. I have set you an example so that you should follow my example." Let's look at the story of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37). In this parable, we see a man who goes out of his way to help someone in need, regardless of societal expectations or prejudices. His actions exemplify servant leadership — he prioritized compassion over convenience. You too can embody this spirit by seeking opportunities to serve those around you, whether through volunteering, lending a listening ear, or simply offering a helping hand. Your willingness to serve can create ripples of positivity that extend far beyond what you might imagine. In your journey toward becoming a servant leader, remember Philippians 2:3-4: “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.” In other words, true leadership stems from putting others first. Therefore, I encourage you to embrace this mindset daily and watch how it transforms not only your relationships but also your own heart. James 4:10 says, "Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you." Prayer for the Day! “Dear Lord, thank You for the ultimate example of servant leadership that Jesus has set for us. Holy Spirit, help us to follow in Christ's footsteps and cultivate a spirit of service in our lives. May we find joy in lifting others up and empowering them to shine. Lord, grant us the strength and wisdom to lead with love and humility. Amen.” Remember, as you go forth, you have the power to make a difference simply by serving others.

Leadership isn't about having all the answers. It's about being generous enough to grow. This week, we sit down with Joe Davis, author of The Generous Leader, to explore what it really means to lead. Not through control, but through service, humility, and transformation. Joe shares stories from his personal journey, how his perspective on leadership has changed, and how generosity became the foundation for his growth as a person and a professional.

In dieser Episode unterhalten sich Andreas und Shahzeeb über die Beratungs-Industrie, die sich derzeitig wie kaum eine andere verändert – nicht nur, weil Deutschland von den Lohnkosten relativ teuer geworden ist, sondern weil moderne Technologien (insbesondere „Large Language Models“, bspw. im Einsatz bei ChatGPT und Co.) viele Arbeitsschritte, die heute von Menschen gemacht werden, schneller und besser machen können. Bevor die beiden Freunde über dieses spannende Thema sprechen, teilen sie wie immer Anekdoten aus ihren Leben und diskutieren diesmal, wie selbstbewusst man eigentlich im Bewerbungsgespräch sein darf: Kommt es etwa gut an, wenn ich mich vorstelle und sage: „Alles was ich anfasse, wird zu Gold!“? :-P Zurück beim Hauptthema unterhalten sich Andreas und Shahzeeb darüber, dass gerade in wirtschaftlich schwierigen Zeiten oft auf einen zu kurzen Zeithorizont geschaut wird und dass gerade dann CFOs (in Deutschland) „einen zu hohen Stellenwert“ haben, sprich, sie bestimmen zu viel mit, obwohl die Zahlen eines Unternehmens nicht primär durch Kostensparmaßnahmen besser werden, sondern vor allem durch gute Produkte und Dienstleistungen, in die manchmal auch bewusst investiert werden muss. Im Mittelpunkt steht für die beiden Freunde vor allem immer wieder die Frage, wann Berater in Führung gehen (sollten) und was „der Ethos der Beratung“ sein muss, sprich, wie viel "Beratung" ist denn beim Kunden angemessen. Neugierig geworden? Dieses und mehr hört Ihr in dieser Folge von With People. For People.

Today, we move into the fourth episode of a series on quotes that coaches should NOT use in their own personal development or with their teams. Today we continue to cover some quotes that start with or are dominated by the pronouns "I," "me," or "my." Last week, the quotes focused on the concept that, "It's not about YOU, coach!" This week, I focus on two statements that end up being excuses for coaches to fall back on and then a bonus "I" statement that I hope none of you are ever saying!Speaking of excuses, coach, there is no excuse for you to NOT send in a statement or two that you have heard or used that you know we should not be using as coaches! Please email me with them at scott@slamdunksuccess.com. The more we can get out there for coaches to be aware of, the better off we will all be.For more information to help you on your road to becoming your best, check us out at SlamDunkSuccess.com or email me at scott@slamdunksuccess.com.As always, our background music is "Dance in the Sun" by Krisztian Vass.

Moment #128 The concept of servant leadership isn't new. It departs from traditional leadership models by shifting the focus from the organisation to the people who work for it.But is this a good idea? Can your team still perform at its peak if you divest the accountability of your position? Or is this noble sounding theory more likely to lull you into a false sense of security, which ultimately damages your team's ability to thrive and grow?If you want to go deeper on the myths surrounding servant leadership, have a listen to Ep.109: Servant Leadership.————————

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to Christina Muscianese from Johnson City, TN. Thank you for your partnership with us through Project23, which is helping people hear and respond to the truth of God's Word. This one's for you. Our text today is Mark 9:33-37: And they came to Capernaum. And when he was in the house he asked them, “What were you discussing on the way?” But they kept silent, for on the way they had argued with one another about who was the greatest. And he sat down and called the twelve. And he said to them, “If anyone would be first, he must be last of all and servant of all.” And he took a child and put him in the midst of them, and taking him in his arms, he said to them, “Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me, receives not me but him who sent me.” — Mark 9:33-37 Jesus and the disciples arrive in Capernaum. They enter a house. And Jesus asks them a question—one he already knows the answer to: “What were you discussing on the way?” They fall silent. Why? Because they were arguing about status. About greatness. About who would be first in the kingdom. Let that sink in. Jesus just told them—again—that he would suffer and die. And they follow it up by debating rank. But here's what makes this moment even more ironic and powerful: the greatest person in the room is the one teaching them what true greatness really is. The Son of God—radiant in glory, worthy of all worship—sits down and calls them close. And then he turns greatness on its head: “If anyone would be first, he must be last of all and servant of all.” Then Jesus does something shocking. He takes a child—a symbol of weakness, low status, and dependency—and pulls him into their circle. Not to say, “Be like this child,” but, “Receive this child.” Welcome the unnoticed. Embrace the vulnerable. Value the ones the world forgets. Jesus isn't just telling us what greatness is—he's embodying it. The King of all is stooping to serve. The highest is showing us how to go low. In God's kingdom, greatness is not defined by visibility but by humility. Not by power but by service. Not by the spotlight but by sacrifice. So, if you want to be great, stop climbing. Start kneeling. Serve those around you today, and learn his greatness! #ServantLeadership, #KingdomGreatness, #Mark9 ASK THIS: What definition of greatness have you bought into? How does Jesus' model challenge your own ambitions? Who are the “children” around you God wants you to welcome? What would it look like to choose service over status today? DO THIS: Humble yourself by serving someone with no influence—someone who can't repay you—just as Jesus did. PRAY THIS: Jesus, I confess I chase the wrong kind of greatness. Teach me to see, serve, and value others like you do. Amen. PLAY THIS: “Make Room.”

How do you lead under pressure—when the stakes are higher than ever? Join host Nicole Jansen as she welcomes Jeffrey Sanow—a highly decorated former senior CIA intelligence officer and social skills instructor—for a rare, behind-the-scenes exploration of negotiating, leading, and communicating in the world's most demanding environments. Drawing on decades of experience from covert missions to boardrooms, Jeffrey shares hard-earned lessons in the art of human intelligence (HUMINT), the nuances of managing high achievers, and the subtle balance between respecting authority and staying true to your ethics. In this deeply insightful conversation, Jeffrey unpacks how global adventure shaped his path to the CIA, reveals his philosophy on truly listening as a leader, and discusses the mission-driven culture that makes organizations like the CIA distinct. Along the way, Nicole draws out practical wisdom on empowering teams, navigating mistakes, servant leadership, and recognizing when your people might be working against your goals. Walk away with actionable communication tactics, a fresh appreciation for cultural intelligence, and a peek inside the world of national security leadership. What We Discuss in this Episode What drew Jeffrey Sanow to a career in the CIA, and how did his Peace Corps experiences prepare him? How to check your ego at the door and lead with emotional intelligence. What does “reading the room” really look like in high-stakes negotiations? How do you empower high achievers and foster a culture where it's safe to fail? Practical tactics for spotting sabotage or disengagement within your team The value of servant leadership—at the CIA, in business, and beyond Why authentic listening is the most underrated leadership skill A candid look at the organizational culture and changes at the CIA in recent years Lessons for entrepreneurs and executives from the world of intelligence Key Takeaways Adventure and Service: Curiosity and a drive for adventure led Jeffrey from the Peace Corps to a decorated CIA career—serving not just the U.S. government, but the American people. Tailored Communication: Effective leaders customize their approach to each team member, building individual connections for maximum impact. Reading the Room: Body language, active listening, and subtle cues are vital—aware leaders watch for unspoken signals. Empowerment to Fail: Create space for mistakes—this is where innovation and growth happen, even in high-security settings. Servant Leadership: The best leaders focus on serving and empowering their teams, not on their own power or ego. Ethics vs. Authority: Know the boundary between necessary respect for hierarchy and the imperative to do what's right. Spotting Sabotage: Monitor output, listen to peer feedback, and address disengagement or resistance before it festers. Listening Is a Skill: Listening—truly listening—is learned with practice, and it's the foundation of all great leadership. Organizational Culture: Despite changes in leadership or politics, the mission-driven culture at organizations like the CIA relies on the dedication of its rank-and-file professionals. Universal Lessons: Lessons from the world of intelligence—adaptability, curiosity, respect, and ethics—are directly applicable to business leaders everywhere. Dive into this eye-opening conversation with Jeffrey Sanow and Nicole Jansen to discover how the principles of human intelligence, adaptability, and service can transform your approach to leadership—no matter what arena you play in.

I guess if I had to come up with a theme for this episode, it would be another quote: "It's not about YOU, coach!" Having said that, this next statement is about YOU, coach! If you have any quotes or concepts that you think we should not be using as coaches/leaders, please email me with them at scott@slamdunksuccess.com. The more we can get out there for coaches to be aware of, the better off we will all be.For more information to help you on your road to becoming your best, check us out at SlamDunkSuccess.com or email me at scott@slamdunksuccess.com.As always, our background music is "Dance in the Sun" by Krisztian Vass.

In this deeply personal episode, Bobby Bosler reflects on a recent moment when the pressures of pastoral ministry weighed heavily on his soul. Drawing encouragement from 1 Peter 5, he shares how the Lord—our Chief Shepherd—met him in his weakness and restored his joy. This message is not just for pastors, but for anyone who finds themselves burdened while trying to follow God.Topics DiscussedA fresh look at 1 Peter 5 from the perspective of a new pastorThe biblical call to “feed the flock of God”How leadership can lead to personal anxietyCasting your cares on Christ as an act of humility and faithA powerful moment of personal soul restorationEncouragement for teens to seek wisdom from those who've gone beforeThe universal need for dependence on the Chief ShepherdKey TakeawaysTrue spiritual leadership flows from a willing, humble heart—not from obligation or control.The weight of responsibility can become overwhelming—but it's not ours to carry alone.Jesus, the Chief Shepherd, not only cares for us, but actively lifts and restores our souls when we turn to Him.Whether leading or following, every believer is called to humble dependence on the Lord.Would you like me to include a blurb about your current sermon series or location in the summary, or keep the focus general for broader audience connection?

Joe Willmann shares his journey from wrestling coach to Lutheran Church Extension Fund leader, revealing how his perspective on leadership transformed from rigid systems to recognizing individual gifts and abilities. He explains that excellence should replace perfection as our aim in life and ministry, highlighting the difference between these mindsets.• Moving beyond perfectionism to excellence creates space for growth while maintaining high standards• The concept of "tending and keeping" provides a biblical framework for understanding our vocations• True leadership flows naturally from being deep followers of Jesus rather than adopting leadership techniques• The three greatest needs in churches today: embracing biblical stewardship, aiming for excellence, and letting non-essential things evolve• Key behaviors for Christian leaders: developing winsome witness, adopting a posture of reception rather than critique, and loving difficult people• LCEF partners with congregations and districts to start, sustain, and strengthen ministries through financial and strategic partnerships• Changing a 30-year men's Bible study time resulted in attendance growing from 12 to 40-50 menSupport the showJoin the Lead Time Newsletter!

How do servant leaders in Lutheran schools model leadership for future church workers? The Rev. Mark Bushuiakovish, pastor at Our Savior Lutheran Church in Nashville, TN, joins Andy and Sarah for our Set Apart to Serve Series to talk about his journey into pastoral ministry, how his faith was formed as a child and through Lutheran schools, the servant leaders who served as models through his years in Lutheran school, his experiences at seminary, and how his congregation forms and encourages both youth and adults to consider full-time church work. Christ's church will continue until He returns, and that church will continue to need church workers. Set Apart to Serve (SAS) is an initiative of the LCMS to recruit church workers. Together, we pray for workers for the Kingdom of God and encourage children to consider church work vocations. Here are three easy ways you can participate in SAS: 1. Pray with your children for God to provide church workers. 2. Talk to your children about becoming church workers. 3. Thank God for the people who work in your congregation.

Scott Rasband worked 15 years in medical device sales and leadership before transitioning to Chick-fil-A, and has spent the last 10 years operating the Chick-fil-A in Spanish Fork, Utah. In the Church, Scott has served as a Young Men president, elders quorum president, bishopric counselor, and bishop. He is the father of five and currently serves as the bishop of a Young Single Adult ward. Links Share your thoughts in the Leading Saints community Read the transcript of this podcast Get 14-day access to the Core Leader Library Highlights Scott Rasband wears two significant hats: he is both the owner of a Chick-fil-A restaurant in Spanish Fork, Utah, and a YSA bishop. He describes the values instilled by the Cathy family, owners of the Chick-fil-A brand, and how these values shape the experience for both employees and customers. He emphasizes the importance of local ownership and how it fosters a sense of community and connection. Scott talks about "second mile service," a principle derived from Matthew 5:41, which encourages going above and beyond for others. He illustrates this concept with anecdotes from his restaurant—moments that create emotional connections and leave a lasting impression on customers. Scott shares insights into his role as a YSA bishop, where he applies similar leadership principles. He discusses the importance of being present, allowing young adults to lead, and connecting them to a higher purpose. Informal gatherings, like "Straggler Sundays" at his home, foster community and build trust among ward members. Scott's approach to leadership is characterized by vulnerability and accessibility, as he actively reaches out to members through texts and personal interactions. He highlights the significance of mentorship and the power of creating a culture where young adults feel valued and empowered. 00:02:14 - Chick-fil-A Culture and Leadership 00:04:03 - Scott's Background and Experience 00:05:10 - Positive Perspectives on Young Adults 00:06:24 - Connecting Youth to Jesus Christ 00:07:13 - Chick-fil-A's Unique Organizational Culture 00:09:25 - The Importance of Sunday Closure 00:11:22 - Mission to Be the World's Most Caring Company 00:12:22 - Translating Mission Statements into Action 00:13:41 - Servant Leadership in Action 00:14:56 - The Impact of Chick-fil-A's Values 00:16:05 - Local Ownership and Community Impact 00:17:02 - The Role of Personal Connection in Leadership 00:18:10 - Examples of Chick-fil-A's Customer Experience 00:20:10 - Core Four Principles for Employee Interaction 00:22:36 - The Origin of "My Pleasure" 00:23:09 - The Significance of Culture in Organizations 00:24:26 - Retention and Employee Satisfaction 00:25:38 - Patterns of Gathering in the YSA Ward 00:27:44 - Straggler Sunday Concept 00:28:59 - Informal Gatherings and Building Relationships 00:29:20 - Digital Relationships with Ward Members 00:30:48 - The Importance of Availability 00:32:06 - Mentoring and Leadership Development 00:33:11 - Involving Spouses in Ministry 00:34:05 - Creating a Culture of Vulnerability 00:35:09 - The Role of Surprise and Delight 00:36:11 - Letting Young Adults Lead 00:39:29 - Delegating Responsibility in Chick-fil-A 00:40:39 - Building Trust Through Delegation 00:41:26 - Adapting to Change in the YSA Ward 00:42:18 - Embracing New Traditions in Worship The award-winning Leading Saints Podcast is one of the top independent Latter-day Saints podcasts as part of nonprofit Leading Saints' mission to help Latter-day Saints be better prepared to lead.
