Last week, we focused on goals and goal setting, which are extremely important. But if you don't take action on the goals and plans you have, who cares what your goals and plans were? The key to your success is going to be the actions that you take to make it happen!

In this episode, Danny Raines, CUSP, joins the show to discuss the critical transition from being a crew member to a leader in the utility industry. Drawing from his extensive career—from journeyman lineman to safety consultant—Danny explores the challenges of supervision, such as navigating generational differences and the importance of communication skills. The conversation delves into the "glass house" effect, highlighting how a leader's actions on and off the job, including on social media, influence safety culture. Danny also breaks down different leadership styles, advocating for servant leadership as the most effective approach for modern crews.   Buy Danny's Book - https://www.amazon.com/Legends-Ole-Lineman-learning-Journeyman-ebook/dp/B0FXN6G7V8/ref   Key Takeaways: The Difficulty of Transition: Moving from a "doer" to a leader is a long road because it is often easier to do the job yourself than to get others to do it according to expectations. The "Glass House" Effect: Leaders must realize they are always being watched by their crew and peers. This extends to social media, where liking or interacting with unsafe content can undermine a leader's credibility and influence new apprentices negatively. Servant Leadership: The most successful leadership style is "servant leadership," defined by Danny as never asking a crew member to do something the leader hasn't done or isn't willing to help with. Admitting Knowledge Gaps: Leaders should never "blow smoke" or pretend to know everything. If a leader doesn't know the answer, they should admit it, pause the work, and find the correct information to maintain trust. Generational Awareness: Effective leadership requires understanding generational differences (e.g., Baby Boomers vs. Millennials) and adapting communication styles to different personality profiles. Succession Planning: A vital first step for any new supervisor is to identify and mentor the person who will eventually replace them.     Questions & Answers 1. What inspired Danny Raines to write his recent article on leadership? Danny was inspired by reflecting on his own career progression from a crew member to various leadership roles, as well as a book written by his pastor titled Yes, I Can, which resonated with his experiences of rising to new challenges.     2. How does Danny define the "Glass House" concept in leadership? The "Glass House" means that a leader is constantly under observation. Everything they do, whether on the job site or on social media, is seen by others, and mistakes or endorsements of unsafe behavior (even online) can negatively influence the workforce.     3. What are the four main leadership styles discussed in the podcast? Danny identifies four primary styles: Autocratic (authority-based), Democratic (voting/consensus-based), Bureaucratic (rule-governed), and Servant Leadership (leading by example and support).     4. Why is "Servant Leadership" preferred over the "Autocratic" style in today's workforce? While autocratic leadership ("my way or the highway") was common in the past, it creates friction, especially with younger generations. Servant leadership fosters better buy-in because the leader reasons with the crew, explains the "why," and proves they are willing to do the work themselves.   5. What should a leader do if they encounter a situation they don't understand? They should immediately stop and admit they aren't sure, rather than acting like they know. Danny advises saying, "I'm not real sure about this, but let me check and I'll get right back with you," to avoid breaking trust or causing safety issues.   6. What is Danny's "one piece of advice" for new leaders? His advice is "Don't rush it." Leadership takes time and experience to build. He urges new leaders to be humble, learn as they go, and seek advice rather than expecting to know everything immediately.     #UtilitySafety #LeadershipDevelopment #LinemanLife #ServantLeadership #SafetyCulture #CUSP   Subscribe to Incident Prevention Magazine - https://incident-prevention.com/subscribe-now/ Register for the iP Utility Safety Conference & Expo - https://utilitysafetyconference.com/ ________________________________ This podcast is sponsored by T&D Powerskills.

In this special year-end episode, Pastor Karl and the Flipside Church staff share their personal “Five Good Minutes” reflections on what God taught them throughout 2025. Tricia Cheshier speaks on trusting God and saying yes, overcoming fear to step into full-time children's ministry and watching her entire family grow bolder in faith. Michael Rondon reflects on a year of change, learning to be available and say yes upfront—discovering how one reluctant yes to coaching soccer became an answer to a former student's family's prayers. Alli Stemple shares about choosing joy amid uncertainty and witnessing God's providential will as closed doors led to unexpected open ones. Jeff Stemple unpacks the importance of understanding God's assignment, realizing that divine favor rests on the task God gives rather than on the person. Heather Botwright vulnerably recounts a difficult year of family health crises, yet celebrates God's faithful presence through His people and the strengthening of family bonds.Pastor Karl closes with his own lessons: returning to the bedrock of Scripture, leaning into God's sovereignty and providence, and remembering that Jesus builds His church. The common thread running through every story—saying yes to God, trusting His plan, choosing joy, and faithfully doing the job He assigns—leaves listeners challenged to reflect on 2025 and step boldly into 2026.A heartfelt, honest look at real faith lived out in real life.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 8:00am 9:30am & 11:00am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

Some leadership lessons arrive through strategy. Others arrive at 38,000 feet, reading a single sentence that reframes everything. For Garry Ridge, former CEO and Chairman Emeritus of WD-40, that moment sparked a radical shift in how he thought about leadership, culture, and responsibility. In his second appearance on The Unlock Moment, Garry returns to reflect on what he's learned since stepping away from the CEO role … and what still matters most about leading well. In this conversation, Garry shares deeper insight into servant leadership, psychological safety, and why fear is the enemy of learning. He unpacks the real meaning behind his provocatively titled book Any Dumb Ass Can Do It, and explains why leadership doesn't require brilliance - just care, consistency, and courage. This episode is a reminder that great leadership isn't about control or charisma. It's about how you show up and the environment you create for others to thrive. The Unlock Moment is hosted by Dr Gary Crotaz, PhD — executive coach, speaker and award-winning author.

Bobby Bosler shares a simple Christmas challenge from Mark 10:45: Jesus came not to be served, but to serve. With Christmas break and “time off,” it's easy to drift into an entitlement mindset, but Jesus' coming calls us to a different posture. This episode urges young people to make Christmas break a season of joyful, intentional ministry at home, in the church, and in the community.Topics DiscussedSnow culture shock: Wisconsin vs. the mountains of West VirginiaWhy Mark 10:45 is a “Christmas verse” in contextThe temptation of “me-first” living during breaks and holidaysEntitlement at home (parents, siblings, routines, expectations)Serving practically in your local church during Christmas events“Don't be a jerk this Christmas”: choosing humility and helpfulnessTotal surrender expressed through ministry that benefits “many”Key TakeawaysJesus had every right to be served, yet He chose to serve.

Servant Leadership—The Kind of Leadership Jesus Modeled, Lived, and TaughtScripture: Mark 10:45  “For even the Son of Man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.”In Mark 10:45, Jesus reveals something revolutionary: He didn't come to be served… He came to serve. Think about that. The King of kings—the One with all authority, all power, and all glory—chose the towel over the throne, the basin over the spotlight, and the table of the broken over the recognition of the elite.Accept Jesus Today: https://youtube.com/shorts/bIwAUlz7Kg4?si=BNOhv44iLWIR4eVJIf you would like to accept Jesus into your heart today, pray this simple prayer:****God, I have sinned against You. I believe that Jesus is Your Son, who died and rose for my sake. I ask you to forgive me for my sin. I place my trust in You for salvation. I receive you as my Lord and Savior. In Jesus' name, I am forgiven! Amen!"****Congratulations! You are now a child of the most high.

In this special episode, Liz, best described as a servant leader, explains how creating a responsive, resilient, and respectful culture can drive organizational and individual success.

Liz has steered the VARC team through a decade of growth and diversification in a business beset with market retrenchment. She shares how retooling the hiring and onboarding process, and reframing the real role of employees, are key to empowering employees to fulfill VARC's mission of providing those with disabilities and life challenges “personalized client services to help individuals experience their community…[and] make every day count…”In Part 2 of this discussion, Tom and Liz will explore how proactive communication and clear employer expectations align her staff. As a result, the likelihood that employees will turn to third parties or mount legal challenges to resolve workplace issues is greatly diminished.

The expression “famous last words” applies to guest Emily Haynes. “One day you will be dean of women,” an associate dorm supervisor once playfully predicted. Emily adamantly replied, “Absolutely not!” Yet the Lord steadily guided her from teaching piano into the conjectured dean of women position. She and host Dr. Matt Davis review that process. Joining the Student Life Office as a dorm supervisor in 2010, she learned the one surprising rule—every day you must laugh. Emily enjoys her work, which mainly entails counseling and discipleship, though it includes a modicum of discipline too. She explains varied aspects of the dual mentorship role of working with students and dorm supervisors. Naturally, she partners with parents as well, assuring them of attentive student care. Maranatha's supportive environment “ought to be pretty reassuring to parents,” Dr. Davis observes, “once you describe all the different things we have in place to help their students thrive.” Now a 15-year veteran, Emily insists, “The rule still applies; there is laughter every day.”

Among various topics, he and host Dr. Matt Davis review his sports involvement, the “relationship of math as a discipline and the concept of truth as a reality,” lessons of grace learned from a bicuspid aortic valve, and transition to the role of “old guy” and mentor to a younger generation.

Pastor Daniel and Lisa Grothe unpacked Ephesians 5 in a fresh way - reminding us that "headship" isn't hierarchy. It's Jesus-style leadership. The kind that serves first, sacrifices first and lifts others first. In a world consumed with power, Jesus calls us to something different: humility, honor and mutual lifting.
