Pastor to Peer Chair Karl Landis on Humble Leadership, ‘Catalytic’ Reviews & Ending CEO Isolation
Send us a text
How do ministry and executive coaching collide? Karl Landis has lived both—graduate school in sociology and theology, 13 years pastoring and leadership development, and now building a Christian CEO peer advisory group that runs on three core values: growth, respect, and humility. In this conversation with Brandon Stanchock, Karl shares the practices that keep leaders grounded, the performance-review framework he calls catalytic coaching, and why so many CEOs feel isolated (and what to do about it).
You’ll learn:
- ‘Catalytic’ performance reviews that develop people without “gotchas”—and how to make sure nothing in the review is a surprise.
- Why Christian leaders can be too slow to confront dysfunction—and how to have crucial conversations with grace and clarity.
- In vs. On the business: simple ways to reclaim reflection time so you stop making every decision yourself.
- The learner’s posture—books, listening, and modeling vulnerability first—that sets the bar for an entire team.
- Decision-making balance: when you have enough data to act vs. when waiting just creates damage.
- From third-culture kid in Central America to peer-group chair: how being “the new person” built empathy for leaders who feel misunderstood.
If you’re a values-driven owner or exec who wants high-production, low-maintenance teams—and a place to process the hard stuff—this one’s for you.
