🧮 Want a formula for trust? Charles Green says trust is....

Trust = (Credibility + Reliability + Intimacy) ÷ Self-Interest

📌 Credibility = Do you know what you’re talking about?
📌 Reliability = Can people count on you to show up?
📌 Intimacy = Do you create safety and emotional openness?
📌 Self-Interest = Do you make it about you, or about them?

Which part of this formula do you naturally score high in? Which needs more work?

Made the wrong decision. Said the wrong thing. Now what?!

Here’s how strong leaders rebuild trust:
🧭 Acknowledge it without deflecting
🧭 Apologize sincerely
🧭 Ask how it impacted them
🧭 Commit to specific behavior change

Trust isn’t fragile—it’s responsive. When you own your impact, you reopen the door. What’s one thing you appreciate in a leader who knows how to recover?

08/04/2025

You can’t demand accountability if you avoid owning your own missteps. Your team watches how you lead more than what you say.

08/03/2025

Leadership trust isn’t built in grand gestures. It’s built in the quiet, consistent moments no one claps for. Your team needs to know you're present and predictable.

Drop a 👍 if you’ve ever trusted a leader because of the small things.

Anyone can manage a to-do list. But leaders? They shape and guide people, not just productivity.

Your team wants more than deadlines. They want to be seen, developed, and challenged.

Ask yourself:
🔹 Who on my team is ready for more?
🔹 Where can I trade delegation for development?
🔹 How do I offer feedback that grows, not just corrects?

Shift your focus from output to opportunity. Because when people grow—results follow.

Tag a leader who believed in your potential before you saw it for yourself. 👏

07/22/2025

If your team constantly needs to “circle back,” misses deadlines, or seems confused about priorities—it may not be a motivation issue. It’s likely a clarity issue.

🛑 Clarity isn’t just saying things louder or repeating them.
✅ Clarity is when everyone knows exactly:

-Who’s doing what
-Why it matters
-When it’s due
-What comes next

📣 A great leader doesn’t just give direction—they make the path feel doable.
That’s what clarity really is: Leadership in action.

Tag a leader who demonstrates how to bring clarity to the chaos.

07/21/2025

Ever had the thought: “Why don’t they just get it?” 🙋🏽
It’s not always a competence issue—it’s often a clarity issue.

Your team isn’t mind-reading your priorities, expectations, or shifting goals. If something feels off, unclear, or inconsistent…YOU as the leader have the power to realign.

Clear expectations reduce conflict.
Clear roles reduce resentment.
Clear communication builds momentum.

Say it again. Break it down. Confirm understanding.
Clarity isn’t micromanagement—it’s leadership.

What's something you realize you needed to communicate more clearly as a leader?

Early in leadership, many of us carry this invisible weight: I have to know everything.
We think being a strong leader means having the solution ready at all times.
But real growth starts when we realize: the best leaders don’t answer everything—they ask the right things.

When you ask powerful questions, you give your team permission to think, create, and lead. That’s how you move from a boss to a multiplier.
Your job isn’t to be a genius—it’s to bring out the genius in others.

Some ministry leaders are exhausted — not just because of the *weight of the work*, but because their church culture never gave them **permission to rest**. If you're constantly MODELING burnout as faithfulness, your team will quietly follow you there.

For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth... but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. — Exodus 20:11

🛑 Stop Doing This:

✝️ Using “servant leadership” to justify self-neglect
🙅🏽 Feeling guilty for resting
📅 Filling every calendar block with ministry
😔 Glorifying exhaustion as obedience

✅ Start Doing This:

🕊️ Honoring Sabbath as spiritual discipline
💬 Telling your team: “It’s okay to rest — Jesus did too.”
🪑 Building margin into your ministry calendar
🌱 Modeling rhythms of rest, prayer, and stillness
🧠 Trusting God enough to slow down

If your church doesn't rest, it doesn't mean you're disobedient. It may mean your leadership hasn't given rest a seat at the table yet.

07/17/2025

Let’s be honest — some leaders are silently burning out while praising their team for “taking care of themselves. That’s not leadership. That’s a disconnect.

Leadership development teaches us that what you model becomes your culture.
Human resources policies may encourage wellness and PTO, but if leadership behavior contradicts that — no one will believe it’s truly allowed.

Signs Your Team Is Following Your Unhealthy Cues
🛑 Late-night emails
🛑 No lunch breaks
🛑 Skipped time off

Simple boundary-setting statements for leaders
✅ “I’ll respond during work hours”
✅ “Take the full day”
✅ "Let’s set realistic timelines”

07/16/2025

Churches don’t always view HR structure as ministry — but it is. When leadership style and people systems are aligned, the body of Christ functions with strength, clarity, and care.

Too often, well-meaning phrases like:
➡️ “Stay faithful.”
➡️ “Just pray about it.”
➡️ “God will fix it.”
..lose their sincerity when they’re used to avoid hard conversations or ignore real issues. But here’s a truth worth sitting with...God won’t fix what you’re unwilling to acknowledge.

🧠 Studies show that when ministry leadership and ministry teams receive consistent feedback, clarity, and leadership development, engagement rises by 5x.

07/15/2025

When human-centered leadership is supported by structured HR practices, the results speak for themselves. Here’s the truth, leadership sets the tone. HR sets the framework. But it’s the alignment between the two that creates trust, performance, and long-term impact.

Is your team encouraged to speak the truth — or to suppress discomfort?
