The Difference Between a Relational and Structural Leader
Sep 03, 2025 Episode 102
Pastor John Nuzzo - Christian speaker and founder of Victory Family Church

As leaders, we fall into one of these categories: Relational Leader or Structural Leader. We each need both categories developed in our leadership. Pastor John Nuzzo defines these categories of leadership using both personal and biblical examples. Using practical examples, he summarizes the deficits of each category and explains how to balance each style. In a healthy, growing organization, both categories work, but they need to be balanced. Jesus, our example, was both structural and relational.

§ Do you see people first or purpose first?

§ Do you see rules first or relationship first?

In this podcast, you will discover your type of leadership, become aware of your deficits, and learn how to build the other side of your leadership style intentionally.
