- Synopsis
- When a conversation no longer seems simply hard, but feels threatening, confusing, and unpredictable, it starts to look like combat. When we're caught in a combat mentality, we think there are power rules that determine who will "win" - but they are not rules of nature. Instead of getting caught up in conventional rules about winning and losing, we must focus on strategy and skill. Good strategy is thinking and planning what we want to do and where we want to go in the conversation, while assuming we'll face obstacles.
