Hi Reader,
Struggle with control a bit?
Raises hand...
I get it. When the world is spinning out of control, it's hard not to try to grab it back. Besides, isn't leadership bringing order out of chaos?
Well, yes, but there's nuance.
Lysa TerKeurst is back, and she has a lot to say to leaders who care deeply but control quietly.
In this episode, we talk about:
👉 Why most controlling leaders start out just trying to help
👉 The one word that separates responsible leaders from controlling ones
👉 How fear quietly pushes you into control mode before you even notice
👉 Two phrases that will change how you handle the adults in your life
👉 What Lysa learned about her own control issues while writing a book about control
If you're exhausted from trying to keep everyone and everything on track, I think this conversation will help you find a healthier way to lead.
🎧 Listen now and take the next step toward healthier leadership. Watch it on YouTube or tune in wherever you listen to podcasts.
