This
chapter suggested to change from direct order to something like this. “ You
might consider this,” or “Do you think that would work?”, “What do you think of
this?”, “Maybe If we were to phrase it this way, it would be better.”. This
talking style always gives people the opportunity to do things themselves and
let them learn from their mistakes.
This
technique makes it easy for a person to correct errors and saves a person’s
pride and gives him or her a feeling of importance. It encourages corporation
instead of rebellion.
He
said “Resentment caused by a brash order may last a long time, even if the
order was given to correct an obviously bad situation “
I
often asked my daughters to face their computer screens towards me so that I can
assist them better, if they have any questions. But they often turned their
computer screens the opposite side of me so that they can do something else other
than focusing on their assignments. I tried to force them to take my order to
follow as a rule, but it didn’t work very often, because of the same reason.
I
would like to practice more to start my conversations with the following phrase
so that my tone can be indirect and I hope this technique works to handle my
situation with my daughters as well.
I’m
pretty sure that it will work and I need to think about some nice ways to make
it work.
