How has it already been over two months since GLS26?! 🤯 We’re still thinking about all the incredible moments from this year’s Summit. Here are some of YOUR favorites! 👏 Join us in 2027 --> globalleadership.org/summit #GLN #GLS26 #Leadership

Listen to Episode 221 of The Global Leadership Podcast on streaming platforms and at globalleadership.org/glpodca…! When a team feels frustrated, disconnected or unsure where to focus, the problem may not be effort or talent—it may be clarity. In this episode, Whitney Putnam talks with Global Leadership Network President and CEO David Ashcraft about a leader’s responsibility to create direction people can understand, remember and act on. David explains why leaders often need to repeat the vision more than they think, why collaboration and candor can sharpen direction, and how unclear communication from senior leaders can unintentionally send teams running in the wrong direction. He also shares a simple practice his teams use to distinguish between processing an idea and actually making a decision. Whether you are setting organizational strategy or leading a team through a new initiative, this conversation offers practical ways to reduce unnecessary confusion and make the direction simple enough for people to follow.

Are you developing people who lead just like you — or empowering them to become the best version of their own leadership? #GLN #GLS26 #Leadership

If we are armed with enough humility, we can learn from anyone. - David Ashcraft, CEO of GLN #GLN #GLS26 #Leadership

Great advice from The CEO of The @watchonwonder and former Netflix and YouTube executive, Kelly Merryman Hoogstraten! 👏 “Focus on making a decision, and then learn from it.” #GLN #GLS26 #Leadership

We cannot control the environment. We can only control our reaction. @Levine_Alison #GLN #GLS26 #Leadership

🎙️Episode 217 is out now! Good decisions depend on more than having the most information—they require knowing when to trust experience, whose judgment matters most, and how to keep hierarchy from getting in the way. In this episode, @AndyStanley draws from his latest book, What Great Leaders Do, which identifies seven practices of effective leadership. This conversation goes deeper on two: trusting your leadership intuition and resisting the “evolution of a court” around influential leaders. Andy explains why intuition is often acquired knowledge leaders cannot immediately articulate, how to draw that judgment out of the right people on your team, and why positional authority should not determine whose voice carries the most weight. He also explores the safeguards leaders need as their influence grows and why finishing well requires choosing enduring values over immediate pressures. The conversation was conducted by Life.Church founding pastor Craig Groeschel in front of a live audience at the 2026 Global Leadership Summit.
