257. Slowing Down When the World Speeds Up, a Quick Conversation with Tod Bolsinger and Markus Watson


Listen Later

Tod Bolsinger and Markus Watson discuss the importance of acknowledging when leaders feel overwhelmed and how critical it is to slow down and reflect rather than react impulsively. Through engaging metaphors and practical advice, they share strategies for adaptive leadership, highlighting practices such as pausing, getting perspective, and silent prayer to navigate chaos and uncertainty effectively.

Tod Bolsinger and Markus Watson discuss this quote from David Quel in Ep 242, Life and Leadership in the Fog:

"The world is moving fast. Change is speeding up and human brains haven't necessarily changed in order to be able to cope with all that's happening."


THIS EPISODE'S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:

  • Leaders need to acknowledge feeling overwhelmed when confronting rapid change.
  • Practicing adaptive leadership requires slowing down and reflecting rather than reacting impulsively.
  • Effective leaders train themselves to pause and assess before taking action during crises.
  • Pausing to pray or gain perspective can help leaders manage chaotic situations more effectively.
  • Leaders should ask if immediate decisions are necessary to avoid defaulting to outdated practices.
