As leaders we will all face confrontation. In the book of Corinthians, Paul was forced to confront several problems. If I were in his shoes, I would have come packing mad bombs accompanied by a fresh verbal assault of what they need to do. But when we stray off course and others speak into our lives, we need to find something to affirm in the person we are trying to correct--in love.
The 101% principle is finding the 1% you can affirm and giving it 100% attention. Paul practiced this and demonstrated that affirmation comes before confrontation. Good leaders look for the good in people and affirm it. Only then do they address the problem.
