\n“Words matter more than we imagine. They matter in more ways than we imagine and they’re not just vessels for transporting a thought from one person to another. They are the thoughts.” –Marilyn McEntyre

\nI don’t own a dog and I have never trained a dog. However, this short video from Cesar Millan discusses how he thinks about solving ‘separation anxiety’ in dogs. Sharing this is not intended to suggest any endorsement of Cesar’s methodology or agreement with everything he says. Rather, my main interest is noting some things here about how Anxiety functions in a simple two-member system.

\nLeaders tell me just about every day that they think they might be struggling with burnout and when I hear their stories, I think that they probably are and with good reason. Emily Nagoski and Amelia Nagoski wrote a terrific book about burnout but I’d recommend that first people listen to their interview with Brene Brown. I appreciate that the Nagoski sisters are practical, funny and balance an individual view of burnout with a systems view.

There is a lot to catch up on since we shared our last newsletter, so let's jump into it!
This podcast series explored the idea that "leaders who learn to lead through coaching and who develop a culture of coaching in their organization will effectively raise up people who can consistently be the healthiest, most effective version of themselves and do their best work." Here are the links to that full series.
In the episode, Orienting ourselves in the deconstruction process, we talk with Ben Sternke and Matt Tebbe, authors of “Having the Mind of Christ: Eight Axioms to Cultivate a Robust Faith.” During the conversation, we explore deconstruction, how our response to it impacts those we lead, and much more!
This was a challenging, curious, and compassionate conversation, I highly recommend checking it out.
Leadership is not just about being in charge. The best leaders know how to use influence and relationships to lead up, down, and sideways in order to shape the things they care about.
In part 1 of the series, Jim and Trisha explore what it means to lead up, leading yourself, the continuum of commitment, emotional bank accounts, and much more.
This fall, Jim Herrington and Mike DeRuyter will be facilitating a pastor’s learning community that we want to invite you to consider joining. If you're interested, I recommend registering or reaching out soon because the group is starting on September 15.
You can find the details and registration information here and if you have any questions, you can contact Jim at jim@theleadersjourney.us.
That's it for our updates today. I hope you enjoy the resources and reflections below!
Thanks for reading!
– Tim
