Season 1, Episode 6
The Transformational Work of Adaptive Leadership with Tod Bolsinger
Episode Description
On this episode, Michaela and Lisa welcome Tod Bolsinger. Tod is the Senior Congregational Strategist for the Church Leadership Institute, Affiliate Professor of Leadership Formation at Fuller Theological Seminary, and co-owner and principal of AE Sloan Leadership. He has written nine books, speaks all over the world, and worked with organizations like Baylor University, World Vision, InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, Young Life, The Salvation Army, and over 100 churches of different sizes, denominations, and locations.
Tod’s story and his adaptive leadership practice deal with difficult questions, like:
- What do you do when you think you’re doing everything right, but morale is going down? When there’s growth, but it’s not sustainable?
- What happens when the very thing that’s gotten you to where you are as a leader is no longer what is needed? Do you double down on your technical expertise or are you open to the work of becoming what you’re not?
