So today I ran into some intense situations which I would usually have avoided at all costs. One came up at work, and I confronted it head on. It involved a subordinate who I normally let get away with a lot of crap mainly because I do not want to deal with the situation.

Confronted confrontation

Today was different, I confronted him about the situation, and to my surprise the problem was dealt with without much discord. It felt good to finally stand up to a problem and just work it out. I think the other guy was appreciative that I handled it that way too. It makes me think about all the other times that I walked away or ignored the issue, what was the other guy thinking?

From now on I will definitely approach situations and problem differently, and probably end up with similar results. And you know what? If the situation turns bad, well at least I will now know that I handled it to the best of my abilities.

Anyone else tackle confrontation head on today?
