The Monday Leader

Episode 9 - When You’ve Outgrown the Room

There’s a season every leader hits that nobody talks about. You’ve grown. You see more. You feel the shift. But you’re still responsible for the room you’re in. In this episode of The Monday Leader, Michael sits down with Adam Braud to unpack what it really means to lead in the gap — the space between who you were and what’s next. This isn’t about leaving. It’s not about announcing your next move. It’s about maturity. Together, they discuss: - How to lead when your heart has already moved ahead of the environment - The temptation to withdraw, control, or silently disengage - Why restraint is a leadership skill - How character, language, and posture are tested in transitional seasons - Practical ways to stay excellent without sabotaging your current assignment If you’ve ever felt like you’ve outgrown the room — but you’re still accountable for it — this episode will give you clarity and conviction. The gap isn’t wasted time. It’s preparation time. Subscribe for weekly leadership clarity.

Episode 8 - Why Does Leadership Feel So Heavy?

Leadership doesn’t get heavy because you’re failing. It often gets heavy because you’re transitioning. In this episode of The Monday Leader, Michael Amey speaks directly to leaders who feel the weight of responsibility, pressure, and decision-making increasing. If you’ve ever wondered whether the heaviness means burnout—or if you’ve somehow missed God—this conversation will recalibrate you. You’ll learn: - Why increased weight often signals a new season - How to discern whether you’re in a building, pruning, or transition phase - The danger of mislabeling your season - How to lead with clarity instead of reacting emotionally Drawing insights from biblical leadership patterns and modern leadership thinkers, this episode reframes heaviness as a potential sign of expansion—not collapse.

Episode 7 - You’re Moving… But Is This the Right Motion?

Hard work isn’t the problem. Wrong motion is. In this episode of The Monday Leader, Michael Amey breaks down why many leaders are exhausted but not advancing—and the difference between movement that feels productive and motion that actually creates results. This conversation moves beyond theory and into execution. You’ll learn the four leadership motions that consistently produce progress: -Decision Motion -Alignment Motion -Delegation Motion -Feedback & Adjustment Motion If nothing is changing in your organization, team, church, or business, it’s not because you need more activity—it’s because one of these motions is missing. This episode will help you identify where momentum is stalling and what to execute this week to move forward. Core Question: Which motion am I avoiding? Monday Action: Choose one of the four motions and execute it immediately. If this episode brings clarity to your leadership, subscribe on YouTube and turn on notifications.

Episode 6 - Calling Doesn't Need Permission

In this episode of The Monday Leader, we talk about why calling isn’t validated by consensus and why obedience often requires movement before understanding. When leaders wait for approval, they delay alignment—and when they announce what should be executed quietly, they invite opinions that were never meant to shape the assignment. This conversation challenges leaders to stop narrating every decision, release the need for affirmation, and trust the clarity they already have. If you’ve been explaining instead of executing, this episode is your reminder: calling doesn’t need permission—it needs obedience. Monday Action: Execute without announcing.
