Just as with April, our leadership of individuals may require the same process. The person may have all the skills and abilities they need to perform a role but feelings of fear and uncertainty can cause them to resist and freeze up.

They are physically and mentally capable but their mind is in resistance mode. The feelings of resistance are neither good nor bad but just feelings. It's important to use appropriate leadership strategies to help them push through their resistance rather than allow it to control them. Determine a leadership strategy that gives them a step by step process to overcome their resistance and reach a successful conclusion.
