Listen "Instinct vs Intentional Leadership"
Episode Synopsis
Instinct got you through the wilderness, but it won’t get you into the Promised Land. In this episode, Jon Chasteen unpacks the critical shift every ReLeader must make: from leading by instinct to leading with intention. Jon shares his personal wake-up call, realizing that frustration with systems, staff, or culture often pointed back to his own leadership failures. Drawing from Joshua’s transition moment (“When the manna stopped, Israel didn’t panic; they planted”), he explores what it looks like to stop reacting to yesterday’s problems and start designing tomorrow’s future. Through three practical shifts, Jon shows how ReLeaders can move from survival to strategy:1. Stop Managing Around People — Start Leading Through Culture2. Stop Doing It All — Start Developing Others3. Stop Avoiding Hard Conversations — Start Restoring Healthy AccountabilityWhether you’re inheriting a ministry, rebuilding after a crisis, or simply ready to grow beyond maintenance mode, this episode will help you trade instinctual reactions for intentional rhythms that build a healthy, lasting culture.
