Letting Go as a Leadership Strategy with Dr. Jason Young
Description
Rob and returning guest Dr. Jason Young explore the intricate relationship between contemplation and action within leadership. They define contemplation as a 'long loving look at the real,' emphasizing stillness, letting go, and hearing God's voice. Conversely, action is described as unpopular, disruptive, and slow, aimed at challenging the status quo in a just and authentic manner. They discuss practical ways to cultivate these qualities in high-octane environments, emphasizing the importance of community and ongoing spiritual practices. With insights from scripture and personal experiences, the conversation weaves a rich tapestry of what it means to be a truly integrated and whole leader.
