Summary
In the final episode of our Navigating Conflict series, we explore the third story every leader tells—not to themselves or to the person at the center of the conflict, but to everyone else affected by it. When conflict affects a team, staff, or congregation, people naturally have questions. How you communicate in those moments will either strengthen trust or unintentionally undermine it. The challenge is finding the balance between being appropriately transparent while honoring confidentiality and the dignity of those involved.
