Difficult conversations

This unit addressed the inevitability of difficult conversations in the workplace, and how
these can be managed more effectively to strengthen relationships and increase the
likelihood of positive outcomes. Think about your own experience managing difficult
conversations as a leader, and discuss the following with your fellow participants:

 Reflect on a time when you conducted a difficult conversation with somebody at


work. Who was this person, and why was the conversation necessary? 

 What did you do to prepare for the conversation, and how did you steer it
towards the desired outcome?

 What was the outcome of the conversation? Did you resolve the problem? What
did you learn from this experience?

 Importantly, based on your experience in that conversation, what would you do


differently in the future, now that you know more about influence and influential
dialogues?
