Leading from a Wound

from Back to the Garden

Leadership magnifies whatever exists in the heart of the leader. Which means an unexamined wound doesn't stay personal — it shapes culture, influences decisions, and creates an emotional climate that everyone in proximity experiences.In this episode James and Daniela talk honestly about what leading from a wound actually looks like in practice: the decisions driven more by pattern than wisdom, the team cultures shaped by a leader's unhealed fears, and what starts to shift when a leader finally begins the inner work.This is one of the most needed — and most avoided — conversations in Christian leadership."The most dangerous leader isn't the one who leads badly. It's the one who leads well from a wound — because the damage is harder to see.""Leadership doesn't reveal who we are. It amplifies it.""I thought the fruit proved the roots were healthy. It proved the opposite."Join us in Bali https://backtothegarden.pl/bali_retreat/Join us in our SKOOL community https://www.skool.com/restored-to-relate-community-5762/aboutTake the short 90sec leadership assessmenthttps://assessments.backtothegarden.pl/leadership_quizTake the Free full Self Protection Assessmentor Free full Leadership Freedom Assessment
