One powerful predictor of less healthy patterns and culture in leadership is when a leader is driven by or susceptible to anxiety. But what is the difference between acute and chronic anxiety, and might more of us be influenced by anxiety than we realise. Why is anxiety such a powerful influence in a team or culture, and what do we do if one person has become dominant in setting the emotional temperature of a space?
Steve Cuss brings decades of experience pastoring across different contexts and church traditions, and a compassionate insight into the dynamics of healthy relationships and healthy leadership. Join us as we explore how we might recognise and manage our own anxiety, how to deal with tricky people dynamics and why spending some time at ‘home’ might be the most important thing you do as a leader.
Steve’s books are “Managing Leadership Anxiety: Yours and Theirs” (pub Thomas Nelson) and “The Expectation Gap: The tiny, vast space between our beliefs and experience of God.” (Zondervan) He also refers to “The Four Obsessions of an Extraordinary Executive: A leadership Fable.” by Patrick Lencioni
