2. Make decisions – don’t let them make you! • Vacation • What is urgent • What is important • Know who’s in your center circle • Become comfortable with “No” • Know who to consult
Give a short explanation behind the message. Use empathy – “I really wish…” Offer 2 alternatives. Ask confirming question – yes/no. Push back? Given the resources, schedule, budget, other parameters what would they suggest. Summarize. Follow up.
