Going along to get along

Going along to get along can be a good idea – sometimes. When you find yourself giving in – accommodating in Thomas-Kilmann theory – too often, you might stop and think about that. Do you not care about the outcome of a decision? Are you afraid to speak your mind? Are you going to be silenced by your own choice to not speak up? Will you become resentful about always being the one to “sacrifice”? These questions are especially important in the context of an ongoing, valued relationship.We can all get better at handling conflict, including going along to get along when it makes sense – and not doing it when it doesn’t.Do you have comments or suggestions about a topic or guest?
