Let's face it when we are up against
serious issues that we need to take care of quickly and efficiently we don't
worry so much about possibly ignoring other people's feelings and/or opinions.
However, there is a way of getting things done in a hurry and properly without
having to be labeled an egocentric
tyrant. Here are some suggestions and
set phrases.
Avoid
expressions like:
“You have to…”,
“Always...,”
“Never…”
"I need it done this way!"
"No ifs or buts!"
"I said so!"
Use
indirect language like:
“You might consider,...”
“I think it might be stronger if…,”
“It looks like you are saying....”
Give
your feedback in the form of a question:
“Have you thought of changing…”
“Would you consider doing this…”
" Have you considered the issue from another
angle...."
When
you don't agree, start by giving positive feedback before disagreeing, like:
"I see your point, however,....."
"I hadn't considered that aspect, but...."
"Your suggestion is valid,
nonetheless......"
