Summary: 

We’ve normalized something that was never meant to be normal: leading alone. 

Rev. Dr. Eun K. Strawser invites us into a conversation about the gift of shared leadership. We talk about the ways we hold onto power, how our metrics are shaping the wrong outcomes, and why the environments we build may be working against the very transformation we long to see. What if shared leadership is exactly what the church was always meant to embody? 

Shared leadership isn’t just theory or a strategy. It’s biblical, practical, and transformational to the leader, the church and community. 

Takeaways

Episode field note: Take an honest inventory- Who do you actually share power with?

Most of us can answer that pretty quickly. And for many leaders, the answer is… we don’t. We may delegate tasks, but we’re not truly sharing power.

So the deeper question becomes: Who do you want to share power with and why?
