Ann M. Garrido
Ave Maria Press, 2016
288 pages, paperback $15.95
In her new book subtitled 12 Habits for Christian Leaders, Garrido offers a dozen practical habits for responding to conflict, pairing each with a spiritual companion from history. The book aims to help Christian leaders discover how to speak directly with colleagues about tensions — and how to know themselves well enough to keep from becoming defensive in the face of negative feedback.
Garrido calls upon stories of St. Francis and a Muslim sultan, Archbishop Oscar Romero, and Our Lady, Undoer of Knots. She offers tools to work through conflict within an organization, self-assessment questions, and a prayer at the end of each chapter.
