Andy Stanley Leadership Podcast

In 2017, I discussed why a certain amount of tension is necessary for a healthy organization. Leaders must learn to recognize the difference between “conflicts that need to be resolved” versus “tensions that need to be managed.” In 2022, this is still just as important.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Great leaders care more about making a difference than making a point. In a culture more polarized than ever, it is possible, and important, to lead from the messy middle where problems are actually solved.

Leaders who don’t listen will eventually be surrounded by people who have nothing to say. Back in 2015, Frank Blake and I discussed how to create an environment for honest feedback. In 2022, this is more important than ever.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, Carol Tomé, CEO of UPS, and I discuss why a leader’s priority should be to invest in their team and the impact doing so can have.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Everything changes when we picture our organization upside down, with the CEO bearing the weight at the bottom and pushing vision up through the organization to the customer. Back in September 2015, Frank Blake and I discussed how and why this approach creates vision that will stick. As we enter 2022, this approach is more relevant than ever.
