#6 Crucial Communication Framework
• What’s at stake for those who may disagree with you?
• What are the main arguments you are trying to counter? That is, what are the reasons and rationalizations you need to address?
• What is your most powerful and persuasive response to the reasons and rationalizations you need to address? What is the appropriate time and context for the conversation?
• Where is there opportunity for win-win or to make the pie bigger? “I can’t do this, but I can do that.”
