Interview: Rep. Glanton and Rep. Brockway on Leading Across the Aisle

Interview with GA Rep. Glanton & GA Rep. Brockway on Leading Across the Aisle

---

Leaders must have the skills and abilities to reach those who think like them and those from opposing perspectives. How do we lead from a place of vision when those around us may see things differently? In a divided nation how can we have a unified organization, church or team? What does it take to lead across the aisle? Let’s talk about it.

2 Things From This Episode

1. Differences Are Healthy 

It’s not always the large issues but the little things that a leader must work through. If we agree on everything, all the time, then one of us is not necessary. Leading teams with a wide range of perspectives means you seek to understand them first. When people feel heard they are more willing to accept your differences.

2. Collaboration vs. Compromise

The line between collaboration and compromise is where you start to violate your principles. It comes down to relationships. If you have a strong relationships your differences don’t damage it. There’s a way to stand on your principles and still perverse the relationship.
