482: Joe Rigney | Leadership And Emotional Sabatoge

The Pursuit of Manliness

On today's PoM Podcast I sat down and spoke with Dr. Joe Rigney, Fellow of Theology at New Saint Andrews College and author of The Things of Earth. He just published his new book Leadership and Emotional Sabotage: Resisting the Anxiety That Will Wreck Your Family, Destroy Your Church, and Ruin the World.
"Our leaders have been entirely routed by the agitated and the anxious. These emotional tyrannies manifest themselves in local libraries, HR cubicles, elder meetings, and at your Thanksgiving dinners. In this book, Professor Joe Rigney seeks to recover the nerve of old that steadied leaders to make tough calls. The nerve that braces them when sabotage comes--because it will. The nerve that has more fun than its enemies. Cheer up, there's no way out but through."
