December 21, 2006You Need to Go to the Meeting
Joe was trying to help Gail install some software when Gail noticed he was likely to be late for a meeting. She started to say,
- Don’t finish with that. You need to go to the meeting,
When it occurred to her that Joe would be likely to find that dismissive and too directive. When she had spoken to him that way in the past he got irritated and told her he could take care of himself. So instead, Gail said,
- I’ll understand if you need to leave for the meeting.
Joe was surprised to see how late it was, and thanked her for reminding him.
