Wise leaders learn that unchecked negativity can quietly sabotage teams and mission, and that confronting it with clarity, boundaries, and truth is essential to protect a healthy, Christ-centered culture.
Negativity is part of life and can impact your progress. Negative people can drain your energy, distort your focus, and hinder your growth if you don’t learn to recognize them early.
