Conflicts are real. Especially in leadership.

Your abrasiveness, assertiveness, or vision will rub someone the wrong way. And the same goes for those you lead. They’re going to rub you the wrong way.

Conflicts aren’t bad. They’re needed. 

I think of the Bible verse Proverbs 27:17. It states 

As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another

This means conflict can sharpen us. The more you deal with conflict, the better you’ll be. Before you know it, you may have gained skills you didn’t know you needed.
