We tend to avoid tiptoe around or completely avoid addressing difficult, yet important, topics. Difficult conversations in the workplace can include:</p> <ul> <li>Speaking up in a meeting</li> <li>Disagreeing with someone</li> <li>Asking for something you want</li> <li>Providing or responding to critical feedback</li> <li>Delivering bad news</li> </ul> <p>Our anxiety around having difficult conversations can lead to avoiding the conversation altogether or to holding it in a way which is ineffective or even destructive to the relationship. When in a leadership role, avoiding difficult conversations can significantly sabotage others’ trust in you; productivity of yourself, your team, and the organization; as well as retention of valuable staff and customers.</p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="http://oregontrainingnetwork.com/difficult-conversations/">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
