Seeking the Best for First Third Leaders

Young adults are often on the move—pursuing education, taking career steps, forming relationships, taking on responsibilities, and more. They’re finding their way between what is and what is about to be. Whether you are a young adult seeking to make sense of your experiences, a leader who manages young adults, or a parent or grandparent of young adults, we invite you to listen in as Dr. Gutierrez and Dr. Argue discuss how we all can seek the best for first third leaders in this unique season of life.

The Ripple Effects of Human Flourishing

In this episode of The Hidden Work of Leadership, Michaela O’Donnell talks with Mark Eastburg, president and CEO of Pine Rest Christian Mental Health Services, about the narrow medical models of health and the wisdom behind the interdependence of flourishing. From elementary schools to thriving local businesses, Mark explains how the ripple effects of individual flourishing extend to communities and vice versa.

Why Listening Makes You a Better, Wiser Leader

Are you listening? If not, there may be more at stake than you realize. For Rhonda Butler—professor, executive leadership coach, and director of Women’s L.I.F.T. Fellowship—failing to listen can do real harm, leading to an erosion of trust, silencing other voices, and tarnishing reputations. However, when leaders do listen (and apologize when they fall short), trust is strengthened and wisdom flourishes—for both the leader and those they lead. Michaela and Rhonda explore the intimate relationship between wisdom and listening.
