Issue
faced
by
the
individual:
“I
do
not
want
to
work
with
a
person
(X)
in
the
team.

He
is
a
problem
for
everyone.
Why
should
I
change.
It
is
too
much
stress
to
change

for
him”

  Discussion:
After
discussing
various
aspects
the
following
was
established
:

✩  It
will
be
good
for
the
team
if
he
can
work
with
the
person

✩  It
will
be
good
for
the
person
as
well

✩  The
discussion
broke
on
the
last
point
–
If
X
has
an
issue,
why
should
I
alter
my

behavior?
That
is
just
too
much
stress
for
me!

  Fresh
Perspective
during
Goshthi

✩  The
break-‐point
also
gave
the
solution.
Manish
asked
him
the
difference
between
Stress

&
Stretch.

✩  This
led
the
individual
to
see
the
difference
-‐
Stress
seems
to
be
a
burden
(Negative

Energy)
whereas
Stretch
seems
to
be
a
goal
to
aspire
for
(Positive
Energy)!

✩ 
He
was
then
happy
to
work
with
X
as
he
now
sees
it
as
an
opportunity
to
learn
how
to

work
with
difficult
people!

Issue
faced
by
the
individual
:
“I
(M)
gave
feedback
to
one
of
my
team
members
(A).
A
does

not
agree.”
M
has
clear
idea
of
where
A
needs
to
go
but
A
does
not
want
to
listen.

  Discussion:
After
discussing
various
aspects
following
was
established:

✩  M
has
a
clear
idea
of
where
A
needs
to
make
a
change

✩  M
is
doing
it
for
the
good
of
A

✩  The
break
point
was
that
A
is
not
paying
attention
to
the
solutions
from
M

  Fresh
Perspective
during
Goshthi

✩  It
is
important
to
first
establish
with
A,
his
current
skill
level
–
that
is
build
awareness
of
about
the

Starting
Point!

✩  Do
not
proceed
further
(Discussion
on
Destination)
till
A
&
M
are
on
the
same
page
w.r.t
starting

point

✩  Once
A
is
aware
of
his
current
level
in
earnest,
then
the
discussion
towards
destination
becomes

more
meaningful
as
A
also
understands
where
he
needs
to
go

✩  In
most
cases,
just
working
on
the
awareness
of
the
person
helps
them
figure
out
a
way
to
get
to

the
destination
themselves.

✩  As
managers
&
leaders,
our
primary
job
is
to
build
awareness
and
help
on
the
solutions

collaboratively
to
make
them
more
effective!

eﬀective

  “The
biggest
takeaway
…has
been
the
incisiveness
of
the
concepts
related
to

managing
people
and
their
expectations.
Not
only
have
the
concepts
been
well

presented,
the
fact
that
they
have
been
practiced
in
role
plays
and
real
life

examples
makes
a
big
diﬀerence.”

In

  “…
The
beauty
of
these
sessions
is
that
they
get
you
involved
in
the
situation
such

that
you
start
appreciating
the
reason
for
the
difficult
behavior
of
the
people.

Once
you
start
to
see
the
reason,
the
problem
just
becomes
a
challenge
that
can

be
handled
by
changing
our
approach.
These
sessions
work
as
an
eye
opener
to

how
simple
small
things
about
what
we
do
and
how
we
speak
can
bring
about
a

big
change
how
other
perceive
us”
