Joy of Leadership: When People Oppose You

About Me

Name: Shar McBee

Shar McBee is a motivational speaker, a consultant, and the author of two bestselling books. Shar had never received management training when she was suddenly put in charge of supervising 500 people. It was hard. People wouldn't cooperate. They wouldn't do what they were supposed to do. Even worse, they criticized Shar for what she did. Finally, a wise mentor taught Shar a leadership secret. She tried it and it worked amazingly. In business, it made it easy to attract customers. On volunteer projects, it made it very easy to attract volunteers and donations. (In some cases, the increase was as much as 500 %.) Today Shar McBee speaks at about 35 leadership conferences each year. Sharing her secret with new managers and volunteer leaders, Shar has helped over 150,000 people become better leaders. When they learn the Joy of Leadership method, instead of feeling frenzied, being the leader becomes fun.

When People Oppose You

Don't start thinking that "it won't work."
Sometimes opposition is helpful.
It may represent opposite ends of the same spectrum.
Or opposition may complement you (like male and female.)
When resolved, opposition can make you very creative

The following is from the chapter "Be Creative"
in To Lead is to Serve:

A master chef will balance a meal to include the five tastes –
sweet, sour, salty, bitter and pungent.
When we look at a project in this way, we see the value of
having different kinds of people in the group.
We may not like someone who is sour, but that person
might be exactly what is needed to balance the committee.
