Description

There are innumerable books, essays, articles, courses, sermons, and blogs on the subject of dealing with difficult people. They range from how to handle difficult people in your family or at work to how to counsel, pastor or lead difficult people. A large number of resources are available for small group leaders. There are lists that include “the dominator … the victim … the sneak… the guerilla fighter,” etc. Each has suggestions, sometimes even specific word-by-word instructions on what to say or do. There is so much material of this type, that it is impossible for a good group leader needs to memorize it all.
