In a work conversation, someone disagrees with your opinion in front of others. How do you respond?

  • I calmly explain my stance and strive for a constructive discussion.
  • I take it personally and feel uncomfortable, even though I don't show it on the outside.
  • I am trying to quickly resolve the situation so it doesn't escalate.
  • I will engage in a deeper discussion to defend my position.
  • I will leave it as it is and focus on how I can learn from criticism.
