Do you avoid confrontation? Do you find it uncomfortable and worry it will hurt your
relationship? Effective confrontation is a respectful request for a behavior change. If we begin to understand why we want/need that change and how emotions and past triggers play a part, we can then we can confront situations and issues that arise in our organizations and personal lives with candor and transparency. Often, we hesitate to confront someone because we fear that it will make the relationship worse. If we focus on making a connection with that person and simply asking for change without judgement, we can alleviate some of the anxiety and worry that comes with confrontation. Confrontation does not have to involve conflict, and we can prepare to have a conversation that confronts undesirable behavior in a way that feels respectful to the person and to ourselves.
