Use Be Direct with Respect® with Your Team
2010 July 6
When there are unresolved issues festering below the surface, they will eventually cause energy to be diverted from your team. Group cohesion is a good thing to have especially while conducting honest and assertive communication!
Some teams are open and use open communication with honesty while others don’t speak with candor.
To refocus your team, ask the following questions:
- What do we need to be talking about here? Let’s not beat around the bush.
- What issues haven’t we been talking about?
- How is this currently impacting you and how will this impact our future?

I could see this technique being a real time saver. Plus it takes the emotion out of any issues. I look forward to giving it a try.
Wendy, try the technique and if you have any questions, please check in with me. It takes a lot of practice and once you learn the technique, you will gain control of those sticky situations at work or home.
