WORKPLACE CONFLICT RESOLUTION— CONTINUED TIP 9: ALLOW SILENCE FOR REFLECTION

Jason Carter received the Community College Business Officers (CCBO) Award as the: 2018 Outstanding Business Officer Congratulations Jason!

We’ve all experienced awkward silences. While it may seem counterintuitive to let moments of silence occur, sometimes it’s the best choice. It can give a person a chance to reflect on what’s happening, and how he or she needs to proceed. Believe it or not, silence can be a powerful communication tool. TIP 10: ALLOW TIME FOR DECISIONS When a person is upset, they may not be able to think clearly. Give them a few moments to think through what you’ve said. A person’s stress rises when they feel rushed. Allowing time brings calm.
