Are You Avoiding a Challenging Work Conversation?
It’s no fun to have tough conversations at work, whether it’s your employees, peers, colleagues, or boss. In fact, a vast majority of us prefer to avoid difficult conversations all together.
But avoiding these conversations with your colleagues or direct reports hoping the problem will go away isn’t a realistic option — and frequently makes a tough situation worse.
You need a strategy that won’t leave you feeling uncertain about how to handle the tough conversations and allows you to achieve the best possible outcomes.
To help you, I’ve identified the principles for managing difficult conversations at work.
