What matters most in leadership? When people think about Jesus Christ, they often associate him with great teaching about ethics and virtues. However, he lived out a vision that went far beyond that - as he shook up the political and religious landscape of his day by painting a picture of life, God, and leadership that nobody had imagined. What does it mean to lead in our weaknesses, rather than our strengths? How do we lead in times of suffering, while engaging the reality of pain? What does it look like to guide people towards a greater purpose without micromanaging them? A close look at the life of Jesus shows us that great and effective leadership is about more than what we might call "Christian morality," and it's more than pragmatic skills we might acquire to get ahead. Learn 11 principles from Jesus' unique life and vision for the world, that we can apply to our leadership in our homes, businesses, and ministries today!

It's hard to be in the minority. If you're the only person from your ethnic or cultural background in your organization or team, you probably know what it's like to be misunderstood or marginalized. You might find yourself inadvertently overlooked or actively silenced. Even when a work environment is not blatantly racist or hostile, people of color often struggle to thrive-and may end up leaving the organization. Being a minority is not just about numbers. It's about understanding pain, power, and the impact of the past. Organizational consultant Adrian Pei describes key challenges ethnic minorities face in majority-culture organizations. He unpacks how historical forces shape contemporary realities, and what both minority and majority cultures need to know in order to work together fruitfully. If you're a cultural minority working in a majority culture organization, or if you're a majority culture supervisor of people from other backgrounds, learn the dynamics at work. And be encouraged that you can help make things better so that all can flourish.
