How I handle Giving Unpleasant Information

Sometimes giving feedback can be an unplesant experience, here are some tips.

 1) The number 1 items to be handled that day. Whenever possible that means, first thing in the morning. I never put off any uncomfortable news, as it will bog down the rest of the day.

2) Never embellish or BS your way through the conversation. Tell the truth, with honor and respect.

3) Offer options and solutions. I have the believe, there is always a solution. Maybe not the one we are presently working on. Hope is very important.

4) Leave an opportunity to discuss again, after the person has had some time to think about the issues and conversation. Set up a time to speak again. Giving folks time, time has solved many problems.
