Acknowledge vs Defend. When we frame an idea, a problem, or an opportunity, we are choosing our perspective. Look at a “glass as half-empty,”<\/em> and we start conserving and protecting. Seeing the same glass as “half-full” <\/em>and opportunity and growth emerge. Our thinking shifts simply by how we choose to look at or “frame”<\/em> something. “This vs That… The Better Choices Better Leaders Make”<\/em> is a video series exploring different concepts, a guide to reframing our perspective on various situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two weeks ago, we looked at the intention behind our questions<\/a> and asked ourselves whether we were being courteous or curious. Courtesy sounded like: “How\u2019s your day?,”<\/em> while curiosity sounded like: “Tell me the best part of your day.”<\/em> This week, we\u2019ll explore our reactions to feedback and objections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s your response? Do you acknowledge or defend?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
