Problem-Solving
The four truths of solution-driven communication: communicate truthfully, tenderly, timely, and tactfully. (A retired clergyman)
Whether in positions of leadership or merely facing interpersonal problems, we could all use these four truths to find solutions to our problems. Surely truth should be the foundational element of any discourse. We need to judge the proper moment for confrontation; timing can be extremely important. And tact and tenderness are elements we should always practice.
Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too. (Philippians 2:3-4)
