  • From a Piggly Wiggly Leader to a Confident One | Ep. 192
    May 3 2024


    In this episode of the SLU Podcast titled "From a Piggly Wiggly Leader to a Confident One | Ep. 192" hosts Jeff Wallace and Brent Crowe delve into the concept of what they term "the higgledy piggledy leader." They open with a nostalgic conversation about their childhood experiences at Piggly Wiggly in Atlanta, setting a personal and relatable tone for the episode. The main discussion centers on the characteristics of a leader who is underconfident and disorganized, drawing comparisons to Einstein's famously messy office. However, they clarify that unlike Einstein, who was a rare genius, most people cannot afford to allow disorganization in leadership. They label this leadership style as sporadic in decision-making and lacking clear direction. The hosts also intertwine spiritual themes throughout the episode, utilizing 1 Peter 2:9 to highlight the importance of understanding one's identity as a "chosen" individual to lead effectively. This Biblical perspective frames the discussion on leadership with an emphasis on being set apart and living a life that reflects the gospel. They discuss the need for leaders to recognize their strengths and weaknesses and to lead with a clear and structured vision, inspired by principles like those found in Jordan Peterson's "12 Rules for Life." The episode concludes with a broader life lesson about the importance of living a holy and purposeful life as a reflection of one’s divine choice and identity, urging listeners to "wander well and shine like stars." The dialogue resonates with both practical leadership advice and spiritual encouragement, making it a holistic talk on overcoming underconfidence and disorganization in leadership.
