In this series we’re discussing the challenge of being a good shepherd. Last time, we discussed the importance of caring for the needs of your flock.  

Our second challenge is to create a peaceful and safe environment for your team. 

Working directly with customers can leave some employees fearful and anxious. If they are not supported by management adequately, the lack of support can result in fear and anxiety and undermine trust. 

In Jeremiah 23:4, God said, “I will set shepherds over them who will care for them, and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall any be missing, declares the Lord.” 

If you desire your team members to thrive emotionally, you need to create a peaceful environment where they feel supported and protected.
