In this thought-provoking episode of Leadership & Other Stuff, Pastor Brian Houston unpacks what might be one of the most countercultural ideas in leadership today: the power of being beautifully boring. Drawing inspiration from Solomon’s unexpected prayer for wisdom over wealth, fame, or power, Brian challenges leaders to reconsider what truly brings lasting influence and divine blessing. With characteristic warmth and humor—plus a few surprising stories (including a run-in with a former Prime Minister)—Brian explores the leadership qualities that may not grab headlines but build legacy: faithfulness, patience, obedience, holiness, servanthood, humility, sacrifice, and consistency. These “unsexy” virtues, as Pastor Brian calls them, might not be flashy, but they are foundational. In a world chasing charisma and excitement, maybe it's the quiet, steady path that holds the greatest reward. Whether you’re leading in ministry, business, or life—this episode is a refreshing reminder that God's blessing often follows those who simply keep showing up, choosing wisdom over wow. Take a breath. Slow down.
