The One Skill That Will Make or Break Your Life and Leadership

Posted on: Tuesday November 28, 2023

To be an emotionally healthy leader requires many skills, practices, and rhythms. Over the last several weeks, we've explored many relationship skills that are non-negotiable for leaders.

But if there is just ONE skill I'm convinced every leader must master, it's "Incarnational Listening."

David Augsberger wrote, “Being heard is so close to being loved that for the average person they are almost indistinguishable.”

When you master this relationship skill,

Your spouse and friends will feel seen and heard.
Your staff and volunteers will feel like you get them.
Your church will experience you as compassionate and present.
Your love for others will grow exponentially.

In today's podcast episode, my wife Geri and I share more about the skill of "Incarnational Listening" that is a part of Emotionally Healthy Relationships.

I want to encourage you. This is one of the toughest skills to do well, but when you stick with it, I guarantee you it will change everything.
