How to Lead People with Different Political Views than You
Subscribe on:
We are smack dab in the middle of the craziness that is election season, and when someone shares opinions you passionately disagree with … what will you do?
Over the next couple of weeks your social media is going to BLOW UP with people’s opinions.
The big question though is..
Why do we feel so threatened when others have different political view than us?
And, why would it make us feel differently about them and respect them less?
Every one of us will always have different opinions politically.
But in every moment we also have the power to choose to act from a place of LOVE or FEAR.
We can either RESPOND or REACT.
However, what happens most of the time is we immediately REACT… And the more reacting we do, the less empowered we are.
In this episode, I’m going to show what it means to act from a place of LOVE.
Why, as leaders, we must seek to first UNDERSTAND before being UNDERSTOOD.
One of the most important qualities you will ever possess as a leader is your ability to lead and connect with people that are different from you.
It’s about choosing LOVE even when it’s difficult, frustrating, or inconvenient.
