Episode 545 Don't Take the Bait: Leading Through Criticism
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode we explore one of the greatest challenges leaders face: bring misunderstood. Bob Iger writes about the temptation to get caught up in the rumors, criticism, and opinions of others. For pastors and deacons and non-profit leaders this is especially real. Leaders often find themselves carrying the weight of the perceptions of others. This episode explores how leaders can stay focused on their mission, avoid the trap of defensiveness, and develop the resilience to lead well.
