As a society, we struggle with these situations because they are awkward, uncomfortable, and emotional.

The situation is compounded for leaders as there is no training, at least until now, on how to deal with these situations.

Clearly, Peter and Brian have not been through our 𝗚𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗳𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀™ training.

If they had, they would know how to deal with this situation.
