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 to Stop a Conflict

Sometimes, in a conflict, we make
decisions just to escape the pressure
or the ambiguity.

A decision made in the midst of
conflict is rarely a good decision.
The best time to stop a conflict
is at the beginning.

Once you are embroiled,
stop trying to prove you are right.
Stop rationalizing.
Drop the issue.
Wait for clarity.
Then make your decision. – Shar McBee
