What kind of leader are you when no one’s watching?
In this powerful kickoff to our High Road Leadership series, I’m taking you behind the curtain of my five decades of leadership—across boardrooms, construction sites, nonprofits, and ministries—to share one of the most life-changing principles I’ve ever learned:
*Leadership is not just about what you do—it’s about how you treat people while you do it.
Inspired by John Maxwell’s High Road Leadership and grounded in biblical truth, this episode unpacks the three roads every leader chooses from daily:
🔻 The Low Road—where ego, shortcuts, and self-interest reign
⚖️ The Middle Road—where fair isn’t always faithful
🌄 And the High Road—where grace, integrity, and servant-hearted courage lead the way
I’ll walk you through real-world examples—from boardrooms to betrayal—and challenge you to consider:
• Are you building your leadership on results… or relationships?
• Are you chasing applause… or leaving a legacy?
• Are you willing to trade what’s easy for what’s eternal?
Whether you’ve faced unfair criticism, been tempted to take a shortcut, or need to confront conflict with grace—this episode will give you the framework, encouragement, and spiritual grounding to lead like Jesus in a world that desperately needs it.
🙌 Plus, I’ll give you a Servant Leadership Challenge for the week and a preview of what’s next in this transformative series.
Listen now—and take your next step toward becoming the kind of leader the world trusts, your team respects, and God honors.
