You will meet someone who has a different opinion than you and disagrees with your proposal. What will you do first?

  • I will listen to his perspective and ask follow-up questions to better understand his position.
  • I will try to immediately explain my point of view and convince him with arguments.
  • I indicate that I am willing to make a compromise to avoid conflict.
  • I will reflect on his motivation and look for weaknesses in his arguments.
  • I will stay calm and let him speak while I form my opinion on his strategy.
