HBR On Leadership

NOTE

Choose Words Wisely in Conflict

Effective communication, especially in emotionally charged situations, requires clarity and restraint. Leaders should adopt simple, clear, and neutral language to enhance attentiveness and receptivity during discussions. It's crucial to own your perspective, framing thoughts from a personal viewpoint by starting sentences with 'I' instead of 'you'. This approach minimizes the chance of your listener feeling accused, thereby fostering a more open dialogue.
