Ep 2151: Become the Kind of Leader Your Workplace Has Been Waiting For

What do a lightning strike, two hurricanes at sea, and a post-deployment run have in common? They're all part of how Craig Clutts became the leader he is today. Craig is a 30-year Navy veteran who was entrusted with hundreds of lives at an age when most people are still figuring out their career, and today he's bringing those hard-won lessons into the world of business, ministry, and leadership coaching. 

His book is called Leadership Is Not Likership, and no, the answer isn't what you'd expect. On a run after returning from Afghanistan, Craig asked God a simple question – and the answer God gave him reframes everything most leaders think they know about influence, authority, and the people in their care. 

What you'll hear in this episode: 

• The camping trip that changed Craig's life forever 

• What navigating a warship through a hurricane taught him about staying calm under pressure 

• The biblical story behind En Gedi Construction 

• Why the word "lovership" doesn't appear on the cover of his book 

• The moment a woman he just fired stopped to say "thank you"  

• A preview of the speakers and conversations coming to The Leadership Summit 

If any of that resonates with you, you need to be at The Leadership Summit, a free, full-day virtual event on Saturday, June 27th (8:30 AM–5:00 PM Pacific / 11:30 AM–8:00 PM Eastern) built for faith-driven leaders who want to grow in relationships and lead with purpose. Register at leadershipexcellencesummit.com. 

And this summer, don't just lead at work. Lead in your neighborhood. iWork4Him's Summer Picnic Challenge invites you to host a picnic, love on your neighbors, and send a photo to jim@iwork4him.com for a chance to win a $100 gift at the end of the summer.
