How can you prepare for sabotage?
What does it look like to build resilience as a leader in a time of conflict and controversy?
Tod Bolsinger explores these questions and more in his book Tempered Resilience, which I loved. Now, I hadn’t had the chance to meet Tod before we recorded this episode, but I learned so much from his input into how people can lead through uncertainty. Tod is a seminary professor, author, and leads a leadership coaching and consulting firm dedicated to helping faith leaders thrive as change leaders. That passion is evident in our conversation, and I’m so glad we had a chance to sit down together.
Let me know in the comments how you’ve been leading your church or your family through the unfamiliar. I’d love to hear some of your stories.
