How to respond to chutzpah
The way to respond to chutzpah depends on who is displaying the chutzpah, toward whom, under what circumstances, and how you view this kind of behaviour. However, keep the following in mind:
- People might not be aware that they are displaying chutzpah.
- Don't assume someone acted out of a desire to cause harm when there is a reasonable alternative explanation.
- Instead of allowing reflex to guide your actions, assess the situation before proceeding.
- When chutzpah is inappropriate, consider calling the person out, so they are aware of what they're doing.
