Conflict occurs when expected actions clash with your personal moral compass.  There are only three valid responses.

Fix it.

Accept it.

Leave it.

Any of these will be hard and have consequences.  You have to choose which you will engage.

There is one more potential path.  Don't fix it, don't accept it, don't leave it, just hang around and bitch about it.  This is cancer to the person and the organization.  Leaders should excise this rapidly for the benefit of all.

Despair is the opposite of love.  Love is an overpowering emotion that compels you act for someone else's benefit.  Despair is an overpowering emotion that PREVENTS you from acting.  It is the ultimate shutdown button on your soul.

As a leader, your job is to first drive despair out of your life.  Get up each day and drive despair out of your life to the extent that you can.

Then drive despair out of your organization. Despite hard times, injustices, and any other condition that is horrible to your organization, find a way to drive despair out of the lives of those you lead.  Leadership fails when despair is allowed to flourish.  Leadership succeeds when despair is banished. DRIVE DESPAIR OUT!
