Antagonists challenge even the strongest of leaders; they expose the need for authoritative and containing engagement that might feel antithetical to pastoral caregiving. These are delicate situations. Managing a bully requires courage, self-control, love and teamwork. Leaders can learn to manage bullying behavior without shaming themselves or the individual who is asking to be contained.   

​Dr. Gianotti is available to facilitate retreats on bullying in religious communities of all denominations. Content can be tailored to your specific needs.
