Have you experienced one or more of the following?
Chances are you are nodding your head right now and thinking, “Yeah, I really need to know how to get people to not do that stuff.” I want to ask you a tough question and the only person who needs a straight answer is you: How many of those things have you done?
Passive-aggressive behavior is unhealthy for everyone involved. It breaks down trust, encourages negative gossip and can eat away at our confidence. We are all guilty of doing it; usually because we are trying to avoid conflict or disappointment or we fear rejection. We have to keep that in mind when other people do it to us as well. Solving it starts within.
Here are a few questions to ask yourself and others (gently):
You are now ready to take action. Stop avoiding that person. Answer his/her question with the truth.
Over time you will get a reputation for being a straight talker who can tell the truth with kindness and compassion and hear the truth without jumping to conclusions and becoming defensive. As your friends, colleagues, coworkers and leaders begin to trust you not to behave passive-aggressively; they will feel less need to treat you passive-aggressively. And that my friend is how you get people to stop doing “that stuff”.
As always, I wish you the MOST from your potential!
