Resilient leaders move people from being fans to becoming shareholders - owners of the vision itself. In this episode, J.R. will share 9 ways we can be the kinds of leaders who move people from spectating the vision to actually owning it with you.

Today we are going back into the archives to listen again to an episode that resonated with many different leaders. It’s where we talk about the importance of the four letter F word: fail. It’s a powerful force – and if we are to be healthy and resilient leaders we must face this concept of failure directly and courageously.
 J.R. talks shares that how you define success will define you – and conversely, how you define failure will also define you.
Here are the four reflection questions he submits to resilient leaders:

1.     What’s your favorite leadership mistake? What’s the leader fail you’ve committed? What was it and why is it your favorite?

2.     A great question to ask yourself in the midst of failure: “Did we do any learning yet?” “What can I learn and how can I grow from this situation I am in?” “What can I learn for next time?”

3.     How do you define success? How do you define failure? Because how you define those terms will define you.

4.     And like Ray Dalio, “Have I or am I creating a culture in which it is okay to make mistakes and unacceptable not to learn from them?”

The different decades of our lives require difference focus, energy, and attention. Jon Tyson, in his book 'The Intentional Father,' gives a helpful framework for where that focus and attention should go in order to live life well, but also help others we lead, no matter what decade they may be in.

Happy new year – and welcome to the first episode of 2022.
Oftentimes in a new year we can put undue pressure on ourselves by creating seemingly unrealistic expectations. We don’t need to do this. We aren’t supposed to attempt to boil the ocean by tomorrow.
Here’s we’ll talk about what we can do to get out of the starting blocks in the new year in a realistic way that doesn’t mount on undue pressure to perform or progress.
We just want to get moving in the new year. Just get started.

On this episode we’ll explore the question, How do we measure success in leadership – especially when that leadership is in the context of a ministry or a church? We know that not everyone who listens to this podcast is a member of the clergy, but many are. So we spend this episode unpacking the question about success and how do we know if we are succeeding or failing.
