In this episode, we discuss the essential process of leading through change, emphasizing that it’s not just about being active but about building toward the mission. Leaders must begin with prayer, seeking God's guidance before making any changes, just as Nehemiah did. Planning follows, where leaders identify the gaps between where they are and where they need to be, ensuring clarity before moving forward. The process involves breaking down the change into manageable steps, and pruning involves removing distractions or inefficiencies for growth. Throughout, prayer remains key, trusting God to provide wisdom and direction. Leaders are challenged to identify one area needing change, then take the first steps—pray, plan, process, prune—and trust God to lead the way.

In this episode, we explore the power of radical honesty in leadership. Honesty is the foundation of trust, which is crucial for effective leadership and strong relationships. By being clear, truthful, and addressing tough issues, leaders create a culture of accountability, encourage growth, and build long-term trust. We also discuss how honesty strengthens relationships and team morale, emphasizing that avoiding hard conversations only harms unity. Leaders who openly address problems and celebrate real wins foster a thriving, resilient team. Tune in for practical insights on leading with integrity and creating a culture of truth.
