Hey, Reader!
​
Some leadership lessons only make sense when you look at the whole story.
​
What happens when your vision creates resistance?

You have a vision. You believe in it. So why can the people closest to you be the ones who push back?

Joseph's story begins with a dream. It also begins with tension, jealousy, and a family that was far from perfect.

This week on The Today Counts Show, Jim Piper, Matt Martin, and Winston Harris dig into Genesis 36–37 and the leadership lessons hidden inside Joseph's story.

What happens when the vision is real, but the road ahead looks nothing like what you expected?

A FEW THINGS WE'RE THINKING ABOUT

πŸ”Ή Not everyone will understand the vision you see. Leadership requires knowing when to listen, when to adjust, and when to keep moving.

πŸ”Ή The dream is only part of the story. Who you become along the way matters just as much as where you're going.

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK: What is this season teaching you that you'll need in the next one?

Re-Imagining Leadership:
From the Inside Out
​
A brand-new book from Jim Piper

You can learn every leadership strategy in the world and still struggle to lead well if you haven't dealt with what's happening inside you. In Re-Imagining Leadership: From the Inside Out, Jim Piper explores the inner work that shapes how we lead, make decisions, build relationships, and handle pressure. If you want to lead with greater health, integrity, and purpose, this book is the place to start. Better leadership starts from the inside out.

PERSONAL REFLECTION

Sometimes the season you're in looks nothing like the one you thought you were stepping into. There can be setbacks, unexpected turns, and moments when you wonder what you're supposed to do next. It's easy to become so focused on where you thought you'd be that you miss what is happening right where you are. We don't always get to see what a season is preparing us for while we're living through it. What is this season asking you to pay attention to? Click here to read the full reflection.​
