FINDING THREE POSITIVES

Rejecting a new idea is a normal reaction – even more so when the idea is about an issue close to your heart. Unfortunately, by doing so you send out signals that you’re not receptive to change. Not only do you close off that avenue for exploration, but you also tread on the other person’s ego.

Nobody enjoys having their ideas squashed, so this person is likely to react defensively, especially if they also feel strongly about the issue. You risk getting into the sort of “idea-killing” argument described on page 66. To stop this happening, you need to take a deep breath and be constructive.

There’s an extremely effective tool that can take the negativity out of idea-receiving. If someone offers an idea to which you feel hostile, the rule is that you have to first build on it by deliberately looking for three good things that you can say about it, before you allow yourself to say anything negative.
