The Today Counts Show
The Today Counts Show is about leadership. It’s about shaping healthy leaders, relationships, and workplaces. It’s about re-imaging leadership within three dimensions: your person, your people, and your place. This triad of thought and life is informed by theology, psychology, biology, philosophy, sociology, and any discipline that contributes to the shaping of leadership character.

Ep. 191 - From Capacity to Capital: Rethinking Effective Leadership
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of The Today Counts Show, host Jim Piper Jr. unpacks the 5 C’s of leadership—character, capacity, capital, collateral, and conditions—and explores how each one shapes a leader’s ability to influence, adapt, and thrive.
Most leadership conversations focus on vision and strategy, but few dig into the deeper frameworks that actually determine effectiveness. Jim breaks down why capacity matters as much as character, how leaders can steward their capital (relational, financial, and intellectual), and why understanding your conditions and collateral gives you a strategic advantage in decision-making.
Whether you lead a business, a team, a ministry, or a family, this conversation will help you rethink what effective leadership really requires—and how you can grow in all five areas starting today.
