Leadership is not only about vision or strategy—it is about how we guard and steward our hearts under pressure. Scripture reminds us that being “quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry” (James 1:19) is central to the life God desires. Too often, leaders suppress or mismanage emotions, leaving teams unsettled and relationships strained. This talk explores how emotional honesty, guided by the Spirit, can grow self-awareness, empathy, and courage—shaping leaders who reflect Christ with clarity and compassion.
