The Orthodox Leader
Helping Orthodox Christians be better stewards of their influence and have a greater impact on the organizations they lead
Dn. Michael Hyatt is a former CEO of a $250 million dollar publishing company. After struggling to keep up with his tremendous workload, he developed changes to his productivity, goal-setting, and (most importantly) leadership, which resulted in great growth for his company—even during an economic recession. Today he runs his own business that teaches these leadership skills and strategies to the secular world. But he is also a devout Orthodox Christian—a deacon, in fact—who has a burden for leadership training for those in the Church, both clergy and laypeople, who have to fulfill roles that require leadership knowhow. This is his podcast. Facilitating these discussions is Ann Bezzerides, the Director of the Office of Vocation and Ministry at Holy Cross Hellenic College. Together, the two of them focus on equipping Orthodox leaders with the frameworks, tools, and resources they need to be better stewards of their influence and have a greater impact on the organizations they lead.

How to Lead More Effective Meetings
You don’t have to suffer through another bad meeting. There are few things in church life more draining than terrible meetings. Reject them forever, and turn meetings from painful time-wasters to productive powerhouses.
