[00:04:48] “This is a pattern interrupt. You're, they're not going to be ready for a question like that, so it's going to require a little bit of space. For the truth of that answer to come through. The beautiful part about having this conversation and driving it with curiosity. Curiosity to know, to know more about them, to understand what's going on for them. It literally erodes the anger that you're experiencing.”

[00:07:00] “And the irony of this whole thing is that that trust you built by showing up in that way. That's the thing that actually improves performance. Now, will the employee be able to tell you something like, Hey, actually this is what's going on for me and I've found this challenging and I'm hoping you can help me with this.”

So take a breath, pause, and give it a try - you might be surprised at the positive results.
