Is subtlety an art, or a potential waste of time? Have you walked out of a conversation that mattered with a boss or colleague with a wildly different understanding of what just happened than they did? In our work as coaches, we see too often how rhetorical questions, hints, clues and signals contribute to confusion, misalignment and poor results. This episode is a cry for clarity. As managers, as employees, as colleagues, partners and humans, how can we learn to be clear about what we want, expect and need? How can we learn to manage the complex and sometimes difficult feelings that lead us to dance around the facts, when the facts are really what would help solve the problem at hand? We talk about: what we're avoiding when we dance around a topic how to begin with the end in mind, and doing the work to have the hard conversations that eliminate confusion and set our teams up for success.
