- How Suggesting Ways for People to Improve Can Backfire on You
When you are in a leadership role, you will have conversations where you are discussing other people's behaviors, words, approaches to work, and results. Eventually, you will need to help the other person find a way to improve in at least one of these areas, and you will be tempted to offer a suggestion for improvement. Be very careful in this moment. Even with the best of intentions, trying to help another person improve can quickly backfire on you. This week, we'll take a look at this situation and I'll offer some strategies on navigating it more successfully.

11 min - It's Better to Disarm Than to Strongarm
In any conversation where there is a potential for disagreement, it's tempting to try to force – strongarm – the other person in to compliance or agreement. While that sometimes works, it's not generally the best way to gain agreement and cooperation. It's generally better to disarm the other person – to take away the issues that might cause a confrontation – than to strongarm – to use force to "make" the other person do what you want done. In this episode, I'll share a specific example of where and how this idea applied.

10 min - Disagree Without Being Disagreeable
When you disagree with another person's perspective, solution, or opinion, a very natural approach is to simply disagree. And, that approach rarely wins their heart and mind. To persuade and influence, learning to disagree without being disagreeable is more likely to invite them to at least consider your opinion.

We also need to beware of how our need to be heard and understood can become a challenge. This week, I'm looking at this other side – the leader's side – of the need to be heard and understood.
