19 | Leading Your Team Beyond Digital Distraction and Modeling What Matters


Listen Later

What happens when you're trying to lead a team toward being focused while still struggling with your own digital habits?

You're in a meeting. It's going well. Someone shares something vulnerable. Then your phone buzzes. You glance at it, just for a second, but the moment shifts. Trust thins. Connection breaks. You suddenly realize you're asking your team to be present while you're still figuring out how to do the same.

If you’ve ever felt that tension, this episode is for you. We’re unpacking what it really looks like to lead your team with intention, honesty, and presence in a world where distraction is the norm.

Because leadership isn’t about perfection. It’s about direction.

What you’ll learn:

  • Why vulnerability is your superpower when it comes to leading digital change
  • How to model focus without being ten steps ahead
  • What to say when you're ready to open the conversation about presence with your team
  • One simple habit that helps you stay off your phone during meetings
  • Why your small, visible actions matter more than formal policies
  • You don’t need to have it all figured out before you lead. You just need to be willing to go first and invite your team into the journey with you.

    Like Craig Groeschel says, people would rather follow a leader who is always real than one who is always right.

    And Philippians 2:3-4 gives us a powerful reminder: 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.

    Being fully present is one of the most powerful ways you can reflect Christ’s love and leadership to your team.

    So let’s talk about how to lead meetings that are more focused, conversations that are more meaningful, and teams that are more connected, starting with your next small step.
