The Fosgail Mindset: Season 2, ep. 2 - Finding Our Place by Attending to Relationships

In this second episode of Season 2 of The Fosgail Mindset, Myka Kennedy Stephens builds on Attendant Leadership by turning toward its relational core. Using a story from her early years as a seminary librarian tasked with “right‑sizing” a 200,000‑volume theological library, she explores how even seemingly technical projects are deeply relational—touching staff, students, alumni, institutional leaders, the collection itself, the environment, and her own sense of vocation.​ Drawing on Margaret Wheatley’s insight that nothing exists in isolation and everything takes shape in and through relationship, Myka introduces two dimensions of relationality in Attendant Leadership: relational scope (from self to community) and relational depth (from humanity to the more‑than‑human world/cosmos). She shares how this simple two‑dimensional lens helped her notice where her attention was going—and where it wasn’t—when making hard decisions about deselection, environmental impact, and her own limits as a leader. Listeners are invited to reflect on their own leadership contexts by asking: Where am I most strongly attending right now—self, community, humanity, or cosmos? And what might shift if I treated my next difficult decision as an opportunity to re‑locate myself within a larger web of relationships?​ Read the companion blog article: https://www.fosgail.org/blog/2026/02/...
