Episode Description from the Publisher

Joy may sound soft, but it has a measurable impact on resilience, engagement, trust, and team performance. In this REVERB episode, Andy Stanley and Suzy Gray unpack Andy’s conversation with Kate Bowler about why joy matters more than most leaders realize. They discuss the difference between joy and happiness, how recognizing progress creates gratitude, why storytelling strengthens team culture, and how simple acts of recognition can transform engagement.  If you want to build a healthier culture and become the kind of leader people want to follow, start by creating more space for joy on your team.
