Leading Through Tough Times

Every organization faces “tough times” - a bad quarter, unexpected staff turnaround, or an even more mission-critical challenge - like Sheila Mastropietro has faced for the last three years. Sheila is the Director of Church World Service in Lancaster, which assists refugees, immigrants, and asylum-seekers to find home, peace, and stability to rebuild their lives in the United States. The current White House administration’s policies have sent shockwaves across organizations like CWS as they desperately try to continue their important work in the face of many legislative, legal, and cultural challenges. In this candid and important conversation, Work Wisdom’s Sarah Colantonio talks with Sheila about how she keeps her head above water and stays focused on the work she was put here to do. Find out how Sheila rebounds from disappointment and what skills and focus you need to keep your eyes on the prize in your own tough battles at work - and in your community.
