Leadership Conversation #1: Character and Competency

What's needed most in good leadership -- character or competency?

Most people believe both are needed. But what happens in leadership when we overlook one, assuming the other is either present or will follow? We are familiar with stories about competent leaders with poor character as well as leaders with great character but for whom competencies are lacking. Sometimes, the things we overlook come back around.

​In this podcast, Jeremy and Dave discuss why both character and competency are needed for good leadership, and why church leaders, especially, must self-understand themselves as leaders, not caretakers or managers.
