In this episode, Markus Watson and Tod Bolsinger explore what it really means to lead with care—especially when consensus isn’t possible and someone might get hurt. Tod brings his insight on adaptive leadership, highlighting the tension between seeking unity and making tough, missional choices that can disappoint or cause pain. Together, Markus and Tod reflect on how Jesus modeled mission-centered leadership, caring for people while staying true to his calling—even when it meant letting others down.

Tod Bolsinger and Markus Watson discuss this quote from Marc Schelske in Ep. 258: Walking the Path of Other-Centered Leadership:

“If I really love all the people that are impacted by this decision, then this decision has to be consensual."

THIS EPISODE'S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:

  • Leaders foster togetherness when they involve everyone in the decision-making process.
  • Healthy leadership accepts that some decisions will inevitably cause pain or disappointment.
  • Groups achieve consensus when everyone commits to follow the chosen path, even amidst disagreement.
  • Leadership requires balancing love for people with dedication to the organization's mission.
  • Leaders best serve their communities when they offer care to those most affected by painful decisions.
