Unhealthy Leadership is about what happens when we as leaders don’t face the fears, insecurities, and conflicts inside of us. What we leave hidden doesn’t stay hidden, it seeps into our decisions, our relationships, and the very atmosphere we create. In this podcast I talk about Saul, Paul’s warnings, the wisdom of the Fathers, and the insights of psychology and leadership theory. The point is simple: if we don’t bring our inner life into the light of Christ, we place invisible ceilings over the very people and organizations God entrusted to us. But when we find the courage to tell the truth, to confess, and to live from our belovedness, we make room for our communities to breathe, to flourish, and to move into God’s future with freedom.
