In today’s episode, we get to hear from Russ Conway on how to deal with difficult people. When leaders find themselves in the midst of frustrating interactions and experiences with parishioners, how are we to respond? Russ challenges leaders to remember that leadership starts with leading ourselves. Oftentimes we struggle to deal with difficult people because of the areas of brokenness still unresolved in our own lives. But if we can lead ourselves into areas of growth, we can lead others into areas of growth. Russ encourages his listeners with the truth that when we slow down to take inventory of where we still need to grow in our own lives, we will begin to have more clarity on how to deal with the difficult people in our lives.
