Identify the subtle signs of leadership drift—and what to do now to stay aligned, humble, and on mission with God.

Welcome to the Heaven in Business Podcast, where we help you navigate the messy intersection of faith, family, and business. In this episode, Andy Mason dives deep into a sobering but empowering leadership message.

Why do wise leaders drift? Why do once-thriving businesses and ministries collapse? Using powerful real-world examples and the biblical story of Solomon, Andy reveals the seven subtle signs of leadership drift, and how to stay aligned with Kingdom purpose to build something that truly lasts.

Whether you're just getting started or stewarding decades of success, this conversation will sharpen your focus and stir you to finish well.

🔑 7 SIGNS OF LEADERSHIP DRIFT

1. You Stop Honoring People’s Time – Leadership starts with valuing others, not excusing behavior with your title.
2. You Say in Your Heart: “Look What I Built” – Pride often masks itself in success and results.
3. Your Priorities Get Blurry – Success without clarity leads to busy mediocrity.
4. You Avoid Accountability – Wise leaders invite feedback and correction—even when it’s uncomfortable.
5. You Neglect Leadership Development – If you’re not training others to go further, your vision dies with you.
6. You Protect the Brand Over the Mission – When image outranks message, decline begins.
