Summary
Have you ever imagined that the leadership skills needed to spin up a regional methamphetamine lab would transfer to leading a church ? While he couldn’t have known his destiny from the start, this is the path Pastor Michael Buck took as he set his inner compass to his true North. As a complement to the core Are We There Yet? season, Sonja and Jamie release extras that explore how we get “there,” and the diverse ways leaders have shaped their own lives and those of the people around them. In this second season one extra, Michael reflects on his personal journey from burnout to dealer to pastor, and how his fascinating life experiences shaped his role as an effective communicator and community builder today. In this enlightening episode, Michael walks through how he cultivated self-awareness to claim a direction for his innate drive, and reminds us how critical authenticity is to true leadership.
