Let’s talk about an age-old problem. Should we be completely honest, bluntly brutally honest, or should we be tactful and diplomatic? Which one is it? Is there a choice? Can we be both? If you follow the advice of being brutally honest, you're going to lose relationships, and you're going to suffer negative professional consequences. If you learn tact and diplomacy, this is the essence of social and skill. People will trust you. They will want to be around you. Both being straightforward and diplomatic have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the best approach often depends on the specific situation. Being straightforward can lead to clear communication and honesty, while being diplomatic can help maintain harmony and positive relationships #communication#communicationskills#Diplomacy#
