Episode notes
When A Leader Checks Out In A Room
- Corey used his Joshua's Men group story to show a leader losing influence by emotionally checking out during a meeting.
- He confronted member Nick after months of growth, calling out that Nick had "given himself permission to disconnect," which led to immediate repentance and change.
Use E Plus R Equals O To Own Your Response
- Use the formula E + R = O to control outcomes by choosing your response, since events are outside your control.
- Circle the R (response) and decide you "don't get to" respond destructively because the quality of outcome follows your response.
AIR Explains How Leaders Change Habits
- Change requires AIR: Awareness, Intentionality, and Reps to build new habits and guardrails around leadership roles.
- Awareness reveals the problem (e.g., missed family moments), intentionality creates a plan, and reps embed the behavior.
