Hi, my name is Pete Kizzerra. I want to welcome you today to the Emotionally Healthy Leader

Podcast. Great to be with you. And our title is The Goals Most Leaders Overlook Part 2.

The Goals Most Leaders Overlook Part 2. Now last week was part one, and I just dealt with one

goal that most leaders overlook. And I'd say it's the first one, and that is ourselves,

our own discipleship and formation in Jesus, our own following of Christ, Christ being formed in us, that the number one thing

of all that we are conformed to the image of Jesus, that like David said in Psalm 274, one thing

I ask of the Lord, this is what I seek, that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon his beauty and to seek him in his temple.

leadership. That applies to whether it's a church, a nonprofit, a parish church, family, you name

it, marketplace. And hopefully that vision comes out of who we are and who God is.

The challenge is, now, what next?

But there's some missing pieces of that vision.
