Are You Chickening Out Or Making A Strategic Decision
Questions to consider before you skip, delay or have that difficult conversation with someone
What is my “hidden hope” for this conversation?
What can I realistically hope to achieve?
What’s my contribution to the situation?
Do I tend to look for problems with this person or about this issue?
Is it already starting to resolve itself?
Have I done a “H.A.L.T.” check—Am I hungry, angry, lonely, or tired?
How long ago did it arise? Is it a repeat or recurring problem?
How material is the issue to your relationship or to the job?
Do you just want to be right?
Do I have concrete examples and solutions?
