The past two episodes we’ve explored the importance of habits. But on this episode J.R. looks at the flip side of the coin and talks about randomization rituals. Leonard Sweet lives his life by putting himself in a position where he can experience things in a new – and sometimes strange – ways in order to have fresh eyes. The Russian term for this is ‘ostranenie’ – seeing the familiar in unfamiliar ways in order to understand it better or more deeply. When we experience ‘ostranenie’ we can become more resilient leaders.

One of the best gifts we can give to the people we lead – and to ourselves – is to be well-rested. “But that’s impossible in the world we live in!” you might say. But hold one. Take a listen. You might realize you have more opportunities for rest than you think. It takes discipline to be a well-rested leader. It’s not only possible, but it’s a gracious gift available to 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:
-
What’s your favorite leadership mistake? What’s the leader fail you’ve committed? What was it and why is it your favorite?
-
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?”
-
How do you define success? How do you define failure? Because how you define those terms will define you.
-
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?”

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.

It’s been said, “leaders are readers.” So, what are you reading? And more importantly how do you decide what to read? On this episode, J.R. unpacks the filter by which he decides what to read and encourages you to develop your own framework or decision tree to answering those questions.

As Winston Churchill said, “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” What is needed now – maybe more than at any time in the past several years – is courageous leadership. But how do we cultivate courage in our lives, even just a little bit? That’s what we explore on this episode of the podcast.

On today’s episode, we look at the rhythm of the best leaders: action-reflection-action. Then we take time to explore a handful of helpful questions to assist you in your reflection. The list of questions are listed below:
1. What’s giving me joy in the season?
2. What’s draining me, and why?
3. As I look back on my leadership over the past handful of months, what am I most proud of? What have I learned?
4. As I look back on my leadership, what mistakes have I made, and what have I learned from them?
5. If we own the numbers we can hold ourselves accountable. What numbers are you measuring right now?
6. Who do I want to work with moving forward? Who are the people I could bring on my team, people I could partner with, or organizations that we could join forces with, formally or informally, in the days ahead?
7. What am I afraid of? Where am I letting my fears keep me from experimenting, or acting in a way that is consistent with what I value the most?
8. What do I need to care about more in the season? What do I need to care about less?
9. What do my prayers look like in the season? And what keeps me from a consistent, vibrant prayer life?
10. What does it look like for me to be a well-rested leader going into the fall?
11. It’s been said, “We can’t control the volatile tides of change, but we can learn to build better boats.” If you were to build a better boat, how would you do it and what would it look like?
12. Who is invested in you? Who has encouraged you, and made you who you are today? How can you thank them this week?
13. If you were to grow in leadership by just five or 10% this fall, what would that look like? And who will be the person or people who can help you do that?

Because it’s a deep dive, I want to encourage you to look into it further. Here are some importance resources to explore further:

It was Peter Drucker who said, “The leader of the past may have been the one who offered all the right answers, but the leader of the future will be the one who asks all the right questions.”
On this episode, J.R. talks about one of his favorite topics: question-asking. He unpacks why leaders must lead with questionable influence; they must be the kinds of leaders who ask the best questions. On this episode we look at the four levels of questions and how leaders can utilize these four levels of questions in their own life and leadership.
If you enjoy this podcast, can I ask a 45 second favor? Can you either (a) leave us a review on iTunes, Stitcher, or wherever you listen to your pods or (b) recommend this podcast to 3 leaders you know who you think will benefit from it?
I’d greatly appreciate your help in trying to equip and invest in more hungry leaders like you.

Remember the titan Atlas from Greek mythology who was condemned to carry the world on his shoulders? Many leaders feel that right now. Maybe you feel that right now.
But there’s good news: you don’t have to live or lead like that.
You can set it down – and the world won’t fall apart.

Resilent leaders must be effective communicators. This includes running meetings. Everyone hates meetings! But what if we led them in such a way that they were effective, focused, and valued everone’s time?
Today we talk about the 4 V structure for every meeting you lead:
· Value
· Victory
· Vision
· Voice
We also look at the crucial questions you should ask yourself regarding meetings:
· Who really needs to be here?
· How frequent should we have the meetings?
· How long should the meeting be?
· How can I make this meeting as hard as possible for people to fall asleep or tune out?
· Can I ask my people to do some preparation or pre-work before coming to the meeting?
· What is the brief, compelling, and clearly stated purpose of this meeting?
We also explore several principles for how to run a meeting, including ensuring you always end the meeting by asking the David Allen question: “Who is doing what by when?”

We are digging into the vault to give you the change to be reminded about this important topic.
Every leader experiences depletion. Every leader – and every human – has limitations. So, what are we going to do about it? Soldier through and push harder than before? What if there was a more strategic way to do it?
On this episode we’ll explore how to develop a replenishment plan around four primary areas: physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual.

Joy and resilience are deeply connected. Joy is also connected with gratitude.
We know what joy is not – it’s not happiness, it’s not based on circumstances or things or feelings. But what, then, is joy? How do we define it? On this episode we’ll explore the surprising definition of joy and how we can cultivate it in our own life and leadership.

We’ve heard it since we were children: be grateful. Say thank you. Count your blessings.
But we probably didn’t make the connection between gratitude and resilience. Numerous neuroscience studies have revealed that cultivating practices of gratitude can actually rewire your brain and make you more resilient. This is what we’ll explore on this episode. Join us.

While life is complex, one thing is for sure: our lives are full of decisions of either surrender or stewardship. We either need to let go of people, situations or outcomes (surrender), of we need to be faithful to our callings, responsibilities, and expectations (stewardship). On today’s episode we navigate these two choices and how we can learn to know the difference in order to be leaders who grow in resilience.

On this episode we explore the two steps that are so simple nobody hardly does them.
You know these action steps – you’ve been told to do these since probably middle school. And yet, ironically, hardly anybody does them. And even more ironic, it’s these two action steps that separate great leaders from good leaders.
You can do them. You know how. You just need to care about it enough to do them.

Happy new year – and welcome to our first episode in 2021!
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 Monday.
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.

There are two forms of leadership: centralized and diffused. We’ve lived in an era of centralized leadership, but the pandemic has accelerated change and the pendulum is swinging back over to the side of diffused leadership. And what’s needed is a networking mindset. In the new reality, you can’t survive on your own. But resilient leaders know that thinking in terms of networks is not just a good idea; it’s how it works.

Today we explore a topic that is the most underappreciated value in leadership today. Nobody talks about this virtue – and yet it is crucial for us as leaders (and for us as humans). In fact, it’s quite misunderstood. But once we understand it, we can see its powerful impact in our lives and in the lives of other people.

How do we lead through a crisis? We can’t always prevent a crisis, but we can be prepared for them. Archilochus, the Greek poet from the 7th century BC said,“We don't rise to the level of our expectations, we default to the level of our training.”
Ed Stetzer and Josh Laxton have provided wise words to help us understand how we lead through crises.

This episode is different than the previous 37 recorded episodes thus far. J.R. takes times to vulnerably speak to the heart of leaders to encourage them and to acknowledge that this season has been filled with intensity hardly felt in our lifetimes.
Leaders: this episode is to restore you, to encourage you, to thank you, and to remind you that your work is important and it matters.
May you find encouragement for the journey.

It was Peter Drucker who said, “The leader of the past may have been the one who offered all the right answers, but the leader of the future will be the one who asks all the right questions.”
On this episode, J.R. talks about one of his favorite topics: question-asking. He unpacks why leaders must lead with questionable influence; they must be the kinds of leaders who ask the best questions. On this episode we look at the four levels of questions and how leaders can utilize these four levels of questions in their own life and leadership.

Leadership experts talk a lot about why we do things.
They talk about what we do.
They talk about how we do them.
But we don’t spend very much time talking about WHEN we do things.
Today we look at the connection between resiliency and when we engage in various activities based on Daniel Pink’s masterful book.
When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing (Daniel Pink)

Everybody has a to-do list. But the best leaders have a clear, disciplined to-don’t list. This episode explores how and why we develop a to don’t list and determine what is essential and what is not. Much of this is taken from the book fantastic Essentialism by Greg McKeown, who writes about the concept of “less – but better.”

Every leader experiences depletion. Every leader – and every human – has limitations. So, what are we going to do about it? Soldier through and push harder than before? What if there was a more strategic way to do it?
On this episode we’ll explore how to develop a replenishment plan around four primary areas: physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual.

On this episode we explore Edward De Bono’s mental framework of what he calls the Six Thinking Hats. Each “hat” is a different mode or way to think about a problem or issue. To be resilient means we have to be able to think resiliently so we can lead resiliently. The six hats are:
· The white hat is about facts.
· The red hat is about feelings.
· The yellow hat is where we think optimistically about what could be.
· The black hat is where we think pessimistically of why something would not work.
· The green hat is about ideas, alternatives and possibilities.
· And the blue hat helps us think about our thinking, summarize what we’ve thought through and set goals for next steps.

“Stop being a leader; instead be a leader multiplier.”
This episode we talk about why every leader must pass the Bread Truck Test. We talk about what the Bread Truck Test is, what it means to move from possessing a diminisher mindset to a multiplier mindset, and how we can move from leadership by addition to leadership by multiplication.
J.R. talked about the great book by Liz Wiseman Multipliers: How the Best People Make Everyone Smarter. It’s a fantastic book – one he highly recommends.

On this episode, J.R. talks about posture. There are many leadership resources available today, but few address the way in which we approach leadership. Using the experience of his favorite statues in a plaza (Laborer, Scientist, Poet, and Preacher statues) near the Philadelphia Art Museum, J.R. unpacks what each one can teach us about the four postures of leadership and how we can embrace and exhibit these postures in the new reality.

Bored
Lonely
Anxious/Afraid/Angry
Stressed
Tired
Envious
Depressed (or Distracted)

Today J.R. talks 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. 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:
-
What’s your favorite leadership mistake? What’s the leader fail you’ve committed? What was it and why is it your favorite?
-
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?”
-
How do you define success? How do you define failure? Because how you define those terms will define you.
-
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?”

Using a compass rose, this resource helps leaders assess where they are currently, what is most important to them, as well as notice and acknowledge the new possibilities, as well as name the doors or opportunities that are closing in this season.
North: your guiding light.
South: your southern light.
East: your rising sun.
West: your setting sun.
Each direction holds several questions for personal reflection.

On this episode we talk about the important topic of how to develop leaders. More specifically, we talk about three crucial steps in the process.
First, we focus on their character. Leaders must be FAT (Faithful, Available, Teachable) and hungry.
Second, we consider what domain of leadership is needed in developing a particular leader (executing, influencing, building relationships, or thinking strategically).
And third, we use the six-part framework of equipping, empowering, and unleashing:
- Teach
- Demonstrate
- Observe
- Evaluate
- Encourage
- Evacuate
The goal is leadership development is not about creating clones; instead, it is about multiplying leaders. And leaders who multiply other leaders are resilient.

In a whitepaper Kirk Lawrence, Director of Executive Leadership at the University of North Carolina, wrote, “Leadership agility and adaptability are now required skills if organizations are to succeed in a VUCA world.” Yep. Couldn’t agree more.
Earlier in Episode 3 we talked about the acronym VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous) to describe the nature of the world we live in. Here we look at what it means to be a VUCA Prime leader – one who leads with vision, understanding, clarity, agility – even when the world is volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous.

Today we talk about the importance of preparation in leading an engaging, helpful, effective meeting. We’ve all sat through great meetings… and we’ve sat through meetings that felt like a waste of time. Leaders must think critically, thoughtfully, and carefully through how we structure meetings.
In this episode we talk about the structure of a meeting, the questions to ask before you lead a meeting, and the principles you should enact in the meeting.
The 4 V structure for every meeting you lead should include:
- Value
- Victory
- Vision
- Voice
We also look at the crucial questions you should ask yourself regarding meetings:
- Who really needs to be here?
- How frequent should we have the meetings?
- How long should the meeting be?
- How can I make this meeting as hard as possible for people to fall asleep or tune out?
- Can I ask my people to do some preparation or pre-work before coming to the meeting?
- What is the brief, compelling, and clearly stated purpose of this meeting?
We finally, we explore several principles for how to run a meeting, including ensuring you always end the meeting by asking the David Allen question: “Who is doing what by when?”

On this episode, J.R. talks about Carol Dweck’s groundbreaking book Mindset. She said everyone lives by one of two mindsets: fixed or growth.
A fixed mindset creates an urgency to prove yourself over and over. Every situation is evaluated: will I succeed or fail? Well I look smart or dumb? Will I be accepted or rejected? Will I feel like a winner or loser?
And a growth mindset is based on the belief that your basic qualities or things you can cultivate throughout your efforts. Everyone can change and grow. A passion for learning. Why waste time proving over and over how great you are when you can get better?
Three questions to ponder:
-
Would you describe yourself as having a fixed mindset or a growth mindset – and how would you know?
-
If you had to choose which one would you take: loads of success and validation or lots of challenge?
-
When do you feel smart: When you’re flawless or when you’re learning?

On this episode, J.R. shares his three irrefutable elements a leader. A leader is one who:
· Builds trust
· Bears pain
· Gives hope
Each of these are in a symbiotic, overlapping, intermingled relationship, growing and bulding off of each other. If we aren’t building trust, bearing pain, and giving hope then we aren’t leading – plain and simple.

In this episode J.R. explores inversion thinking, developed by Carl Jacobi and made famous by Charlie Munger. Inversion thinking (also known as backward thinking) takes us through the backdoor of our thinking to help us arrive at a better, more robust understanding. It also helps us when we disagree with others in conversation.
Utilizing inverse thinking can help lead us to be more resilient thinkers and thus, more resilient leaders – and human beings.

You can read more here: https://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/05/sports/basketball/steve-kerr-and-david-blatt-reached-nba-finals-on-unconventional-paths.html
J.R. also explore how resilient leaders must pace themselves, especially as we don’t know how long this leadership race will be. Leaders must:
-
Pace themselves, imaging they are in a leadership marathon
-
Run when they can, and walk when they need – it’s okay to take breaks.
-
Look for other leaders and people to encourage. It helps to encourage you, too.

The New Reality has introduced huge amounts of change in our lives and leadership. Many of us have navigated this well, but we’re tired. Really tired.
We’ve talked a lot about physical hygiene the past few months, but on this episode J.R. talks about mental, emotional, relational, and spiritual hygiene practices to make sure we stay healthy. He offers these 8 practices.
- Stay active
- Rest well – not just sleeping, but also playing
- Be grateful – gratitude journal
- Engage in the "What’s in my control/not in my control?" exercise
- Keep learning
- Unplug regularly
- Set small achievable goals
- Be real (when you are not well, tell others)

On this episode J.R. explores the massive difference between resilient organizations and efficient organizations. They are not the same thing; in fact, they are often opposed to one another.
The virus is not merely an interruption; it is a disruption and an accelerator of the future. And resilient organizations (Lyft, Uber Eats, Wikipedia, Netflix, etc.) are doing fine but efficient organizations (the airline industry, malls, AMC Theaters, etc.) are struggling and many may not make it.
J.R. referenced three resources:
- The Starfish and the Spider (Brafman and Beckstrom)
- The Atlantic article: Efficiency Is Biting Back: Decades of streamlining everything made the U.S. more vulnerable. Edward Tenner: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/04/too-much-efficiency-hazardous-society/610843/

Leaders have a love/hate relationship with email. We can’t live with it, we can’t live without it. So how do we manage emails so we can get on to more important things like leading? On this episode J.R. shares 15 ridiculously practical and crucial email principles resilient leaders can live by.
Here are the Crucial 15:
- Respond to every personal email you receive within 24-48 hours
- Emails should be 5 sentences or less - unless you are writing to a group of people who need specific instructions. If more than 5 sentences, pick up the phone.
- Be clear. Be clear. Be clear.
- Use cc and bcc functions appropriately.
- Don’t do the slow drip approach to email.
- Eliminate notifications from your phone
- Do not use ‘reply all’ unless specifically instructed to do so by the sender.
- Eliminate as many grammatical errors and typos as possible.
- Email is for information transfer, not emotional engagement.
- Refrain from ending an email with the line “let me know how I can help.”
- Effective people always add value to people’s lives. Therefore, seek to add value to others in your emails.
- Don’t read your email each morning until you’ve eaten three frogs.
- Operation Inbox Five: work to have no more than 5 emails in your inbox at any given time
- Unsubscribe from all unnecessary email subscription lists.
- Remember: just five sentences or less.

We live in a world where the assumption is that leaders have to be the brilliant experts with all the right answers all the time. But with so much uncertainty, that’s just not possible. How are we to lead when we aren’t sure what to do next?
J.R. offers three questions to help navigate the uncertainty:
- What information are you lacking that if you had it you could make a more confident decision?
2. What’s the next right thing to do? - Use the 2 x2 decision-making matrix:
· What’s the best thing that can happen if I do this?
· What’s the worst thing if I do this?
· What’s the best thing that can happen if I don’t do this?
· What’s the worst thing if I don’t do this?
But even with us, we still aren’t sure what to next. Now what? Leaders can learn these three words: “I don’t know.”
Leaders are utilize this line when they aren’t sure what to do next: “I don’t know what to do right now, but let’s figure it out together.”
Most times, this will actually deepen trust and people’s respect level for you as the leader will go up, not down. Trust, truth-telling, vulnerability, and collaboration are much more important than faking it, pretending, or lying about it.

Receiving feedback can be painful, awkward, vulnerable, and excruciating. Yet it can be a beautiful gift. Resilient leaders understand this. In this brief, but value-packed episode, J.R. shares why proactively seeking out feedback is crucial for resilient leaders. He also shares stories about when he went to trapeze school and how he solicits feedback from his sons who to be a better dad and from his students in his seminary courses on a weekly basis. He also gives valuable next step for how leaders can receive helpful feedback.
Here are the five questions to ask 10 friends mentioned in the podcast:
1. Name one thing I do well without putting any effort into.
2. What 3 words would you use to describe me?
3. Name one area of my life where you see room for improvement. Where can I be better?
4. If you were put in charge of the world’s resources, what would you assign me to do?
5. What happens when I walk in a room? Good or bad, what shows up when I show up?
Also, see Sheila Heen’s book ‘Thanks for the Feedback’ for a wonderful resource on giving and receiving feedback.

On this episode J.R. talks about how the Christian faith finds it foundation in resiliency – what he calls a theology of resilience (although it’s not as nerdy and academic as it sounds). Understanding how the nature of God and the DNA of the Christian faith are rooted in resiliency is crucial. Resilient leaders must provide new wineskins to meet the new, fermenting wine of the Holy Spirit in the new reality.
Briefly, a theology of resilience includes understanding that God’s presence moved from tabernacle to temple to Jesus to his followers. In this episode J.R. touches on these passages:
- Numbers 9:15-23
- 1 Cor. 6:19
- Luke 5:36-39
- John 8
- John 5
- 2 Cor. 4:7-10

The late American futurist Alvin Toffler said, “The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn and relearn.”
Learning isn’t a bad thing. In fact, it’s an incredibly valuable resource and posture in the life of a leader of the future. But what gets us in trouble is our refusal to engage in unlearning. Unlearning is one of the primary skills and postures resilient leaders must possess. But this is difficult, even excruciating. On this episode J.R. shares five ridiculously practical action steps you can cultivate a learning/unlearning posture — and a great resource to help in the process.

We are not going “back to normal” and there will be no “new normal.” Instead, we are entering - and have already begun to enter - the new reality. Why does this slight change of language matter in how resilient leaders talk and think? Because language always matters, especially for leaders.
Going back to normal looks backward and focuses on the past; thinking about a new reality helps resilient leaders look forward in order to focus on the future. To flesh it out further, J.R. talks about the now reality, the next reality, and the new reality and how resilient leaders need to practice wearing “trifocals.”
We discuss Jack Welch’s 10/10/10 framework of leadership decision-making:
- Will this matter in ten days?
- Will this matter in ten months?
- Will this matter in ten years?
- And, as kingdom leaders, it is important to add another crucial question: Will this matter in eternity?

- The three important metaphors from Praxis Labs (praxislabs.org) of a blizzard, winter, and little ice age to describe what the future may hold and why we need resiliency in our leaders more than ever before.
- The concept of the pivot and why it’s so important
- What is resiliency
- The traits of resilient leaders
- What resiliency is not

The world has entered into a new reality where everything is shifting and no one is sure what the future will hold. How will leaders learn to navigate these uncertain times? While we cannot predict the future, what we can do is cultivate resiliency in our leadership now. Resiliency is going to become an ever-increasing competency in our world. That’s why exploring what it means to be resilient leaders is crucial in the days ahead. Join podcast host J.R. Briggs in brief, content-rich episodes released a few times a week to grow in your leadership resiliency.
