🎙️Episode 210 is out now with @McChesney4dx! Many leaders are trying to solve burnout with more inspiration, when their teams may actually need clearer progress. In this episode, GLN President and CEO David Ashcraft talks with Chris McChesney, author of The 4 Disciplines of Execution, about the difference between employee satisfaction and true engagement. Chris explains why people can have what looks like an ideal job and still feel disconnected from the work, while others can serve in demanding environments and remain deeply motivated. The difference often comes down to progress and purpose. Through practical examples from manufacturing, creative work, ministry and leadership, Chris helps leaders understand how to create a “winnable, high-stakes game” for their teams. This conversation will help leaders translate big vision into visible wins, address burnout with greater clarity and give their people something meaningful to move toward.

You don’t need to become someone else to lead well. God has uniquely shaped you — not to imitate others, but to be an advantage to others by being exactly who He created you to be. - David Aschraft #GLN #GLS26 #Leadership

🎙️Episode 209 is out now with David Ashcroft, GLN President and CEO! Communication can make or break trust on a team, especially when the conversation gets tense. In this episode, Whitney Putnam and GLN President and CEO David Ashcraft talk about one of the most common leadership challenges: how to communicate with clarity, candor and care when the stakes are high. They unpack a real moment from a recent GLN all-staff meeting, where a public challenge created tension, required follow-up and ultimately helped sharpen strategy. Whitney and David explore why leaders often think they are being clear when others are hearing something different, how trust makes hard conversations possible, and why “keeping short accounts” can prevent tension from becoming toxic. This conversation gives leaders a practical look at how honest communication, handled with humility and follow-through, can strengthen both the work and the relationship.

Is there an idea you feel called to pioneer? When Aaron and Jennifer Sanders looked at church property, they saw more than buildings used once a week. They imagined vibrant gathering places where people could connect over coffee, shop at local markets, attend events and encounter community every day. Their model now welcomes hundreds of thousands of people each year onto church campuses — creating sustainable income while opening new doors for the Kingdom to meet culture. Maybe it’s starting a supper club on your block. Or finally launching that side hustle. It may feel uncertain — or even a little crazy. But pioneering often does. At the Global Leadership Summit, you'll hear from leaders who have gone first. Get your Super Early Bird ticket — and gain wisdom and courage for your next step.

🎙️Episode 208 is out now with @craiggroeschel Every leader eventually faces a moment when the plan stops working. A strategy fails, a team dynamic breaks down, growth creates new complexity, or an unexpected circumstance forces a change in direction. In this episode, David Ashcraft talks with Craig Groeschel, founder and senior pastor of Life.Church, about how leaders can respond when leadership does not go as planned. Craig reflects on failed ideas, organizational pivots, team conflict, and the ongoing discipline of letting go as leadership expands. He also shares how humility, preparation, prayerfulness, candor and trust have shaped the way he leads through uncertainty. For leaders navigating disruption—whether external circumstances or internal challenges—this conversation offers a grounded reminder: the mission matters more than the method, and growth often requires the courage to release what you can no longer carry.
