Here’s one way you can save your relationships!
Whether it’s your personal relationships or work relationships, they can be so difficult to navigate at times. Disagreements and discord in relationships are normal. Being a good leader in your life or at work, means being able to handle these things in a way that does not damage your relationships.
So, what’s this big secret to help save my relationships you might ask?
Well….it’s ACCOUNTABILITY‼️
No one likes to take the blame and being blamed is not a nice feeling either. Yet it is so easy to play the blame game right? That is to throw the responsiblity for the situation solely on the other party.
However if you are willing to
– Own up to at least a part of whatever went wrong, and
– Take a step back to pause and reflect on how you might contribute to solutions vs blame.
You can make a whole lot of positive progress to both the outcome and to the relationship. As this gives you perspective and may help open up the door to you finding a win-win vs a compromise (win-lose or lose-lose) which can strengthen your relationship.
So, the next time you have a disagreement or challenge to work through, remember accountability vs blame.
