Nerve

The Rev. Dr. Matthew Johnson-Doyle

Edwin Friedman, the scholar of human and family systems, has written about how the crisis in leadership in our age is “a failure of nerve.” Others, like Ronald Heifetz, have echoed this in their writing about leadership - that leaders lack the courage to imagine new ideas and carry them through; and that our hyper-reactivity is damaging the essential capacity for leadership. We’ll reflect together on the subject of “nerve” and what it takes to lead in our age and our place.
