How Not to Waste a Crisis - Tod Bolsinger - 128 - FrontStage BackStage with Jason Daye

As pastors and ministry leaders, when we come up against a challenge or crisis, how can we reframe our perspective so that we do not waste the opportunity that challenge presents? In this week's conversation on FrontStage BackStage, host Jason Daye is joined by Tod Bolsinger. Tod is the founder and principal of AE Sloan Leadership. Tod also serves as the executive director of the DePree Center Church Leadership Institute and as an associate professor at Fuller Seminary. He's the author of the best-selling book Canoeing The Mountains, as well as several other books, including How Not to Waste a Crisis. In this episode, Tod and Jason explore some of the common default modes that we move to as leaders when we face a crisis. Tod shares how we can reframe these situations so that we can better serve the kingdom and the people to whom we're called to minister.

Some key takeaways from this conversation:

Tod Bolsinger on the importance of balance and growth beyond one's natural strengths: "Really good leaders, we found, fall into the same mistakes, and one of their mistakes is relying on their ‘superpower.’"

Tod Bolsinger on the significance of leadership that values and promotes learning as a core element of success: "Really good leaders in a changing world lead the learning."

Tod Bolsinger on the importance of developing problem-solving skills rather than just focusing on finding immediate solutions: "It's not solving the problem. It's learning the process of how to learn your way through it and then you can solve every problem."
