5 Leadership Questions Podcast on Church Leadership with Todd Adkins and Dan Iten episodes

  • 5LQ Episode 21: Leadership Differences by Generation - 5 Leadership Questions: A leadership podcast featuring interviews with Carey Nieuwhof, Craig Groeschel, Matt Chandler, Jen Wilkin, Levi Lusko, Si
    Baby Boomers, builders, generation X, generation Y, millennials – so many generations! What does it all mean? How do they fit together in the workplace? In this episode of The 5 Leadership Questions podcast Todd Adkins, Brad Lomenick, and I discuss the differences in leadership styles between generations. We hash through the following.

    * What are the stereotypes of each generation’s leadership? Which are accurate?


    * What are the shortcomings of each generation’s leadership style?


    * What should baby boomers learn from younger leaders?


    * What should millennials learn from older leaders?


    * How can older, established leaders help younger leaders prepare to be in charge?

    Best Quotes
    “The great thing [for millennials] and the bad thing is that they’ll be coming into a marketplace increasingly based upon on outcomes and not hours.”
    “You have to be a learner because it’s all changing so quickly.”
    “There were a lot fewer opportunities for immediate success for a boomer at 25.”
    “A 25 year old looks at the world and says ‘I can do anything, and if I don’t like it I’ll go do something else.’”
    “”[For boomers] there’s that whole hierarchical system of ‘you have to work your way up.’”
    “If the expectation is that you come in at the bottom and work your way up, while that’s equitable, it doesn’t take into account that some people are just really, really good and are better at the job than those who are more experienced.”
    “Hierarchy suppresses productivity by keeping gifted people and driven people in a position of minimal impact.”
    “It’s one thing to sit through this many hours of lecture on a subject; it’s another thing to display proficiency in it.”
    “A ton of wisdom comes with experience and a ton of humility comes with experience because you take your knocks.”
    “Now days it’s more about ‘I led because I’m beside my team; I’m with my team in the trenches.’”
    “The downside of pursuing your passions is that you overlook things you really ought to have been doing.”
    “Work the job you’re not crazy about to create the opportunities you are crazy about.”
    “Wherever you are crush your responsibilities in what you’re doing then you’ll have a little bit of margin to do something on the side.”
    “Your now will ultimately determine your next and if you crush it in the now the next will take care of itself.”
    “Disrespecting a leader who’s been put over you, no matter how incompetent, reflects more poorly on you than it does on them.”
    “Part of the job of younger leaders is to show up with their pen in their hand and their moleskine and learn.”
    “Your posture is part of the barrier to being taught.”
    “Part of our responsibility if we’re older is to invest in the younger. That’s not an extra credit assignment; it’s a basic assignment of leadership.”
    “Take young leaders with you.”

  • 5LQ Episode 20: Thabiti Anyabwile –
    In this episode of The 5 Leadership Questions podcast Todd Adkins and I talk with Thabiti Anyabwile. Thabiti is an author of several books (listed below) and a blogger. Most importantly, though, he is a pastor. This past spring, when we did the recording, Thabiti was just preparing to launch Anacostia River Church in Washington D.C. along with a team of fellow leaders. We hear from him about church planting, church community, church health, and leading older children as they prepare to launch into the world.
    Best Quotes
    “Dream big, pray big as a brotherhood.”
    “Beginning with the leadership itself and the staff, we want it to feel like a family and like a brotherhood. And we want to give it the time that it takes for that to happen.”
    “You can’t commute to community.”
    “You can’t reach a neighborhood that you don’t live in.”
    “A goal is a goal the moment you write it down, but a value has to be lived out over time.”
    “We put people over programs.”
    “In my experience most Christians have never been in a healthy church.”
    “You can sometimes chart the spiritual lives of a Christian according to the programs in their church.”
    “We stop being Christians in the summer because that’s when we go on vacation.”
    “It was most important for me to be home when my kids were teenagers because I never knew when they would want to talk.”
    “With the older kids leadership looks like being flexible and available enough to catch those moments when I can and direct them as I can.”
    “Choose a college where there’s a healthy church. You shouldn’t put your spiritual life in the dock for four years.”
    “We build our lives into and around the local church.”
    “Commit yourself to studying leadership for the rest of your life. It’s not like you’ve got this thing down.”
    “Make sure that your secret life matches your public life, that what people see is what they get.”
    “Leadership is not about puffing up and swelling up, big promises big words, but is about closing the gap between who you really are and what people see and hear from you.”

  • 5LQ Episode 19: Conducting Awesome Job Interviews –
    If you’re employed you’ve likely been interviewed. If you’re a leader you likely have interviewed various job candidates. In this episode of the 5 Leadership Questions podcast Barnabas Piper, Todd Adkins, and Daniel Im talk about the dos and don’ts of conducting a great job interview. They ask the following questions:

    * What is the aim of a job interview? What are you hoping to discover?


    * What is the interview process you prefer? (Phone, in person, evaluations/assessments/etc.)


    * What is your follow up process after an interview if A) You like the candidate and B) You do not like the candidate?


    * What are some mistakes you regularly see interviewers make?


    * What is your favorite unexpected interview question?

    Best Quotes
    “I think the dumbest question interviewers ask is ‘why do you want this job?’”
    “If you have not uncovered and weeded out a significant number of people in your initial search something is wrong.”
    “I don’t know how we get it through people’s heads that they really need to clean up their social media before they apply for any position.”
    “In the interview I am hoping to get out of it any inferences I may have already made.”
    “You may have a great resume. You may have all the right stuff on it. What I’m now looking for is your fit, how do you respond to difficult questions.”
    “Integrity is the first filter: have they made mistakes, can they share them, and what have they learned through them.”
    “If someone doesn’t have a learning posture I can’t have them on my team because they have a short shelf life.”
    “You’d really like to bring on someone that you can say ‘I’d really like working with this person.’”
    “I’m only going to bring in three. If you don’t have three quality candidates you’re not looking hard enough. More than that’s not necessarily a bad thing, but I’m going to weed down to that.”
    “I’m going to give everybody the Myers-Briggs, Strengths Finder, and Emotional intelligence assessments.”
    “I always prefer going with Skype or Facetime over the phone.”
    “Candor and humility are such important qualities that also link to self-awareness. I don’t want to hire someone who’s full of themselves.”
    “When you ask them their failures are they going to make it more about someone else failing?”
    “The number one mistake interviewers make is that they do not call references.”
    “When you call the references you need to ask them for other references.”
    “I hate it when interviewers give culture spin.”
    “When people start to unwind a little bit you can begin to see their tells a little bit from a non-verbal standpoint.”
