The way you move as a leader gives your team permission to do the same. In this episode, Mikel challenges you to slow down, lead yourself first, and model the pace you want your team to follow.
Your pace is contagious. In this eye-opening Daily Fox Fuel, Mikel shares how frantic leadership creates frantic teams, while steady, intentional leadership builds trust and confidence. He recalls a coaching conversation with a leader who didn’t realize his team was simply mirroring his own lack of proactivity—and how modeling the right pace changes everything. Drawing from Bill George’s reminder that the hardest person you’ll ever have to lead is yourself, and from the life of Jesus, Mikel encourages leaders to course-correct, find peace, and lead with clarity. This episode will push you to reset, recalibrate, and set a pace that helps your team flourish.

Your pace as a leader sets the tone for everyone you lead. Mikel shares how frantic leadership creates frantic teams, and how modeling steady, proactive behavior helps teams thrive. He recalls a coaching conversation with a leader whose team mirrored his own lack of initiative—and how that realization shifted his approach.
Bill George once said the hardest person you’ll ever have to lead is yourself, and Jesus modeled this by never rushing even when the crowds pressed in. Mikel challenges you to course-correct, reset your pace, and lead in a way that brings peace and direction to your team.
