- We don’t avoid having difficult conversations. 1 2 3 4 5
- We are rarely accused, as leaders, of “trying to do it all” and biting off more than we could chew. 1 2 3 4 5

- We take time to grieve our losses and explore how God is seeking to work in us through them. 1 2 3 4 5
On scale of 5 (to a very great extent) to 1 (not at all), how would you rate yourself on the following:
