Diffusing difficult situations
- Avoiding challenging conversations allows room for assumptions and continuing negative behavior.
- Meet with the person to understand their concerns.
- Listen without expressing your opinion or point of view.
- If there is high emotion involved, respectfully suggest that you meet again at a later time once everyone has reflected upon the challenge at hand.
- Focus on the goal of arriving at a beneficial and positive conclusion.
