256. Leadership Mastery: 7 Traits Jesus Modeled For Us to Follow

Leadership isn’t about titles, followers, or charisma. It’s about mastery of self and submission to God. In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Garrett Unclebach and Nick Surface dive deep into what true Leadership Mastery looks like through the life and example of Jesus Christ.

Using both scripture and real-world leadership principles, they break down the 7 traits that define a godly leader that every man is called to grow in if he’s going to fulfill the dominion and authority God gave him.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• Why 57% of employees leave because of poor leadership — and how to lead differently
• Where true authority comes from and why all leadership begins with God’s design for dominion
• The 7 traits of leadership mastery found in the life of Jesus:
  1. Discipline – Private consistency fuels public power (Mark 1:35)
  2. Servanthood – Leads by lifting others (Matthew 20:28)

  4. Responsibility – Ownership born from love and duty (John 10:11)
  5. Strategy – Wisdom under pressure (Luke 20:22–26)
  6. Vision – Seeing what others can’t (Matthew 16:18)
  7. Command – Inspiring belief through authority (Mark 1:22)
