  1. PERSON #1 – VRPs – Very Resourceful People (Paul)

  3. PERSON #3 – VTPs – Very Trainable People (Timothy)
  4. PERSON #4 – VNPs – Very Nice People

NEXT STEPS:

  • Identify 2-3 people from each category. Who are you spending most of your time with? What adjustments do you need to make?
  • How can you protect yourself from difficult people without writing them off?
  • Discuss how you process complaints, grumbling and rebels.
  • Who is your Paul, Barnabas, and Timothy?
