The Leadership Roundtable Podcast

Welcome to Season 5, Episode 1 of the Leadership Roundtable! A podcast with Dr. Conway Edwards. On this episode, we are helping leaders answer two very important questions: How do you add great people to your team?How do you get the wrong people off of the team?All of leadership starts with a problem. To solve the problem, leaders need to have the right people who then can lead and inspire others to solve problem and accomplish the mission of your organization. That’s what makes a great team! Join us as we discuss key questions every leader must ask of themselves and their teams in order to be successful when it comes to hiring great people! For more information on this topic, go to our website visitonecc.com/leadershiproundtable to download the show notes from today’s episode. 

Special Guest: Nona Jones. Ask yourself this question: What is blocking your impact? Far too often, leaders mistake motion for progress; a critical error that can be detrimental to the vision of any organization. If the motion is not being applied to the strategy, it will NOT result in progress. Great leaders must give themselves the capacity to think and clearly define what success looks like in order to delegate responsibilities to their teams more effectively.In this special episode, (an excerpt from her talk at our 2023 Climb Leadership Conference), preacher, business executive, author, and entrepreneur, Nona Jones shares with us her strategies for success and the importance of leading with clarity!

Season 4, Episode 11: The ground underneath our feet has shifted. Therefore, the dynamic of how we have historically approached discipleship must shift as well. Discipleship is more critical now than ever because our culture has changed dramatically. Leaders need to consider the various ways that people are connecting to information and engaging in community today and be ready to meet them there! Special guest Bishop Van Moody joins us to discuss how we can turn social media into social ministry, leveraging technology to create engagement, create community, and have conversations. There is no “new normal,” there’s only the “new NEXT!”

Season 4, Episode 10: All skills are not created equal. Some skills are popular, but WAY LESS influential. Leadership is what we call a "meta" skill. Being a leader means doing the things that leaders do... and everybody wants to be a leader until that time comes! Great leaders understand that in order to achieve their vision, they MUST learn to discover, develop and deploy others... you don't go as far as your dream; you go as far as your team! Special guest, Dr. Dharius Daniels, Lead Pastor of Change Church, joins us to discuss the significance of leaders being intentional about developing their leadership skills! 

SEASON 4, BONUS EPISODE: Special Guest: Dr. Johnny Parker, Leadership Consultant. CEO/Founder of The Parker Group, LLC. 

Season 4, Episode 9: Leaders see before others see. The question every great leader must ask is how can we reimagine the future and prepare ourselves for the church of tomorrow? Forecasting what is to come makes people uncomfortable because have a tendency to cling to what was, rather than embracing what could be. Special Guest Dr. E. Dewey Smith, Sr., Pastor of House of Hope in Atlanta, GA. joins us to discuss the importance of reaching the next generation in the church through inclusion, holistic leadership, vulnerability, authenticity and genuine connection!

Season 4, Episode 8: Sharing Jesus online is so much more than standing on a virtual "soapbox" and telling people how they should live. We are seeing God move in these spaces in ways that we can see anywhere else, and different types of leaders thrive in these areas more than others. Our special guest, Jeff Reed, founder of THECHURCH.DIGITAL & DigitalChurch.Network, joins the podcast to share how we can find value in using online tools to mobilize, motivate and equip people to share their Jesus stories in digital communities! For more information about Jeff Reed’s ministry and TheChurch.Digital, visit the following websites:Thechurch.digital.com sharingjesusonline.com 

Season 4, Episode 7: The culture that you create will not only attract the right people but also repel the wrong ones! As a leader, establishing a culture within your organization helps people make the best decisions even when you’re not in the room. On today’s episode, Dr. Conway Edwards discusses his latest book, Fence Post Leadership, and the importance of having a strategy for creating the culture that you want. 

Season 4, Episode 6: Triangulation is a major issue that can plague any organization, no matter its size. At its core, triangulation represents an inability or unwillingness to resolve conflict through courageous (and often uncomfortable) conversation. As leaders, it is imperative to understand how triangulation occurs and how to address it as soon as it arises. In this episode, we will discuss key strategies for you to identify and control triangulation within your organization! Interested in more leadership tools?

Season 4, Episode 5: No matter what type of organization you're a part of, there are specific values and guidelines that we like to call the "House Rules." It is important that leaders not only be familiar with the house rules but also be ambassadors for them within the culture. These are the things that make your organization unique. Join us on this special New Year's episode as we break down the foundational operating principles at our church that make us one community and provide an outline of expectations for our staff, members, and friends. As you listen, start thinking about your own organization and ask yourself, "What are the rules of our house?" Interested in more leadership tools?
