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.
