 TUSKEGEE EXPERIMENT
Some medical researchers tracked the
development of syphilis in a group of African-
American men for over 30 years, never telling
them the precise nature of their disease and
never treating them---something which would
have been both expensive and effective. Instead,
the researchers let the disease proceed through
its ultimate fatal course in order to observe more
closely the details of its progress. These men
were used merely as means to the researchers.
 REMEDIES
When passion, timelines and stresses are the
part and parcel of our daily life, then we have
to prepare ourselves that our coworkers may
have encounters our school of thought.
Resultantly, leading to conflict that could
sabotage your company’s values or
performance.
Constructive criticism should be warmly
welcomed. If in the company there is no
systems approach, take control and prepare
yourself to become a solutions oriented
trusted leader within your team.
 Step 1:
It is best to take the lead and
communicate your perceptions on a situation.
Be honest, and explain how the situation has
impacted your emotions and your work
performance.
 Step 2:
Identify exactly where the
disagreement began. Do not interrupt,
instead listen and ask non-leading probing
questions to clarify what your partner’s side
of the story is.
 Step 3:
Brainstorm and identify realistic
solutions. Execute a solution, agree on the
action(s) moving forward so the situation does
not escalate.

 Step 4:
Check in and share ideas, like a good
well wisher, however, it is important to utilize
best practices to earn each other’s respect in
order to create a more positive and conducive
working environment.
 BEST PRACTICES TO REMEMBER

at breakfast, lunch or
afternoon coffee.
 Be a good listener.
 Ask good questions.
 Remember, 65% of
communication is listening

destroy your image.
 Expect to be surprised
by perceptions.

 If there are more than

the two of you, practice
facilitation skills so each
party gets equal say in
the discussion.
 When you are
explaining your side of
the story, give specific
examples of action.
Take responsibility for
your side of the issue.

 Do not be dominant
and don't interrupt
unnecessarily.
 Do not go in with a
competitive attitude that
you want to win, be
willing to negotiate and
compromise.

 Enjoy the ventilation, but

be in control and have a
goal at the beginning of
the discussion and an
action plan at the end.
