Consistency is More Powerful than Charisma

Your team isn't afraid of your feedback. They're afraid of not knowing which version of you is going to show up today.In this episode, Jonathan Malm and Jason Young dig into Chapter 2 of Likable Leader and reframe what integrity actually means for leaders. Forget the moral definition for a moment. The kind of integrity that builds followership is about consistency. Predictability. Being the same person on a hard Tuesday as you are on a great Sunday. And it turns out, that kind of integrity might be the greatest gift you can give your team.In this episode, you'll learn:Why "predictable" is actually one of the highest compliments a leader can receiveHow unpredictability, not workload, is one of the biggest hidden accelerators of team burnoutThe difference between being predictably likable and predictably unlikable and the false beliefs that drive eachWhy larger organizations and growing churches are especially vulnerable to leaders becoming callous without realizing itHow your values create a filter for every decision you make and why the hierarchy matters more than the listFour questions to ask yourself before making any leadership decisionWhy your employees, not your mentor or spouse, are actually the least likely to tell you who you really arePlus Jason gets candid about some of the most arrogant leaders he's encountered in 28 years of church work, Jonathan reflects on what it looks like when churches use "their reward is in heaven" as an excuse not to show appreciation, and both of them make the case that the closer you get to the center of a church, the kinder it should feel... not the opposite.
