Simon Sinek on How to Better Handle Confrontation

In Chapter 18 of 20 in his 2015 Capture Your Flag interview, bestselling author and inspirational speaker Simon Sinek answers "What has experience taught you about how to better manage confrontation?" Sinek learns how to handle confrontation most by experiencing it. A communications class teaches Sinek ways to have confrontation and he believes confrontation should be taught, calling it a "human skill" and not just a "soft skill" for work. Sinek notes confrontation need not be aggressive or mean and that taking accountability helps channel tension to collaborative problem solving. Simon Sinek is an author of multiple best selling books "Start With Why", "Leaders Eat Last", "Together is Better", "Find Your Why" and "The Infinite Game". In addition to writing, Sinek is an acclaimed public speaker and an adjunct professor at Columbia University.

Avoiding confrontation when challenged frankly causes a lot more pain in the longrun than developing some confrontation handling skills to get it off the chest then and there and not bottle it up and blow or suffer (or both)
