Good Article here. I would beg the question:" What about using some of these tactics in our personal relationships?" How many times do you see people get mad for the wrong reasons, or not get the right point across. Good article.
ReplyDeleteI also liked this article, specifically at the end when they are talking about random celebrities saying things that have received a lot of criticism. I think a lot of what has to do with handling a make-or-break conversation is what personality type that person has.
