Phrases That Will Make You More Successful at Work
Ask the question: Why do you think that?
Challenge your assumptions (предположения) about others by asking a question instead of responding with a statement. This can be a powerful argument avoidance strategy (стратегия избежания споров) in the workplace, according to Mack Shwab, executive director for the Dale Carnegie Institute for Kentucky. He recommends getting in the mindset to be a more curious person by asking “Why do you think that?” to gain more information about a person’s stance (позиция) instead of jumping to conclusions.
