#208 The Surprising Move That Ended My Leadership Frustration

#208 The Surprising Move That Ended My Leadership Frustration

Most of us know the feeling of being frustrated with a leader who micro-manages, goes silent, or keeps changing expectations. It’s easy to get stuck replaying every misstep and planning some kind of confrontation.

In this episode, Peter shares a recent experience where he hit that point with a leader on a community project. None of the obvious options seemed likely to help. During a moment of prayer and meditation, a different idea surfaced—reach out, share a meal, and learn who this person really was.

The shift that followed changed the whole situation.
This story isn’t about ignoring harm or letting poor leadership slide. It’s about recognizing when the real tension lives in our own thoughts and expectations, and how a small, human act can open a better way forward.
