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. – Shar McBee Visit the Website: http://www.joyofleadership.com/ Shar McBee is a motivational speaker and bestselling author who has helped over 150,000 people become better leaders.

No Progress?

	Don't despair. Remember: a stream travels a long way underground before it comes out in the open. Accept your situation because it's temporary. Nature works gradually. You can't see progress. But one day the fruit ripens. -- Shar McBee Visit the Website: http://www.joyofleadership.com/ Shar McBee is a motivational speaker and bestselling author who has helped over 150,000 people become better leaders.

Feeling Uncertain?

	In good conscience, people can't follow a leader who is uncertain. It's demeaning to them and possibly dangerous. If you are feeling uncertain, before you appear indecisive and unclear, become certain about this: You are sincerely seeking a solution. In this way, people can follow you without betraying themselves. – Shar McBee PS - Thank you to those who emailed your favorite leadership books.
