Quiet Leadership, Holy Assignment

About this episode

This episode discusses the concept of quiet leadership and the inner work involved in self-leadership, featuring insights from Dori Landis.

In this Unscripted Conversations episode with Dori Landis, the central theme is quiet leadership—especially self-leadership, the unseen inner work “between you and the Lord,” where integrity is formed long before influence is visible. Dori also gives a grounded definition of leadership as God-given authority and assignment: leadership is given by God to influence people toward Him, which brings sobriety, clarity, and freedom for leadership to look many different ways—not just bold or charismatic. We also name one of the most painful leadership wounds: when an assignment ends—the grief of letting go of something you loved, and the identity untangling that comes with it.If you’d like to learn more about where Dori serves at the International House of Prayer in Kansas City—a community centered around 24/7 prayer and worship—we’ll include a link below so you can explore it further. https://ihopkc.org/Are you ready to stop performing and start living and leading authentically.
