Garrido identifies conflict as a potentially fruitful exchange that arises from living and working together in the diverse world God created. Garrido, author of the bestselling \u003cem\u003eRedeeming Administration\u003c\/em\u003e, offers twelve practical habits for responding to conflict, pairs each habit with a spiritual companion from history, and offers questions and prayers for growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eRedeeming Conflict\u003c\/em\u003e, Ann Garrido explains that conversion comes through conversation, that there is a difference between “the truth” and “my truth,” and that you should  be curious and practice “Pentecost listening”—or empathic listening—even if you think something is way off base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGarrido will help Christian leaders discover how to speak directly with colleagues about tensions and about how to know themselves well enough to keep from becoming defensive in the face of negative feedback.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShe uses saintly examples to illustrate her points, calling upon stories of St. Francis and a Muslim sultan, Leo the Great, Archbishop Óscar Romero, and Our Lady, Undoer of Knots.
