When your people are hurting

When your staff is hurting, how do you handle it? If you're a boss, you tend to avoid dealing with people's pain. If you're a leader, you try to listen and show empathy, but if you're not careful, how you navigate those tough conversations may actually exacerbate their pain. But, if you're a Builder, you find ways to create safe spaces for people to process their pain but then you get everyone refocused on your vision, mission, and core values. That way, you help people process their pain and leave them feeling hopeful and equipped to handle tough situations and still move toward your school purpose #LikeABuilder.
