Summary

In part 2 of this series on The Emotionally Healthy Leader, Pete explores the first pillar of building a deep inner life out of which we lead for Jesus: face your shadow. This requires confronting those parts of who we are that we prefer to neglect, forget, or deny, and it is our most difficult leadership task. Pete builds on the material found in book and provides additional avenues to get at this largely unconscious, damaged but mostly hidden version of who we are.

0:00.0	Hi, my name is Pete Scuzeiro. I want to welcome you today to the Emotionally Healthy Leader Podcast.
0:10.0	As many leaders and teams are studying the Emotionally Healthy Leader book, what I'm doing here is I am taking each chapter in that book and expounding beyond it.
0:21.6	For those of you who are reading and studying it,
0:24.6	I'm going to briefly review the content of each chapter before I do that.
0:29.6	But I want to encourage you, as there are many layers to each of these themes,

1:08.4	in standard practice in most Christian environments, the way we approach
1:15.5	the shadow is, or what we approach even ourselves, we don't spend a lot of time reflecting
1:19.8	on how our interior world is impacting our leadership. And we don't take very often the time to explore kind of those parts of
1:32.6	ourselves that we'll just consider unacceptable, a bit more ugly. And even to process, our anger,
1:40.6	our fears, our sadnesses with ourselves, with God. And most of us are in Christian cultures
1:47.4	that we don't talk a lot about our failures and weaknesses or mistakes. And so we end up blaming
1:52.5	and scapegoating others and we get triggered. We're not sure quite what to do with it, kind of
1:57.2	shove it down. And it's just so normal to spend a lot of time on impression management.
