As it is not easy to find people with leadership skills to head key positions, it is not easy replacement. He explains Sebastian Siseles, regional director for Latin America of the site Freelancer.com, who argued that the change of an influential leader needs to "start from the current conductor or leader."
According to the executive, leaders must be prepared to train those who can be future leaders of the company. Thus, according Siseles, can be maintained "not only unscathed organizing your absence, but their mark on the future of the organization. "
Here are some recommendations for efficient exercise executive leadership:
1 Show the rest of the organization where you're going , what is your dream and where the organization wants to be in the future (is the "mission and vision" of the company).
2 Describe the behaviors that will bring the company to where it wants to take. Explain and demonstrate what the expected behaviors of each of the members of the organization (these are the "values") are.
3 Inspiring people and select the best qualified. This is a fundamental part in the work of a senior leader of any organization.
Innovate . Constantly seek the best methods, both within the organization and outside it, to improve the status quo and take the organization to higher levels than today is. This, to discover not only more efficient ways of doing things, but also generate the members of the organization's incentive to propose new alternatives.

10 things you should never tell a boss

Being a great leader is not to brag or create fear but to generate the team to work to improve and be successful.  Photo: bancaynegocios.com
"The difference between the almost right word and the right word is really a large matter, is the difference between the firefly and lightning," wrote Mark Twain.
Like it or not, the words you use can seriously affect your ability to succeed. And that's especially true for leaders.
"The most successful leaders can articulate the mission of your organization and express it in ways that inspire others to achieve," says Darlene Price, president of Well Said, Inc., and author of Well Said! Presentations and Conversations That Get Results.
"Although other traits, behaviors, and skills needed for leadership, this is the top of the list."
He says that great leaders embrace the power of speech.
"They understand the impact of the spoken word and how it affects the minds and hearts of people."
Therefore, commonly used positive and effective phrases Cunado speak with your team, as:
"Here is our mission", "your role is critically important because ...", "I want to know what you think", "how can I help?" "Together we can ...", "congratulations" and "thank you."
"Conversely, there are certain hurtful words and phrases that leaders never say," Price explains.
Here are 10 of them:
"I'm the boss."
"Announcing this, the invalid," says Price. "Like former prime minister of Britain, Margaret Thatcher once said," Power is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, then you're not '".
Declare your title implies an attitude that says, "no doubt. No arguments. We will do things my way. "
"Great leaders are followed and admired, while dictators are feared and despised," says Price. "Of course you're the boss, but say it does not. Instead, use your power to empower others. Question, 'what do you need to be successful?' or 'what I can do to help?' ".
"Not my fault"
The best leaders take responsibility for their actions. No point to anyone, not make excuses nor other cast blame. "Although no one likes to feel guilt, a great leader absorbs shock demonstrates responsibility and leads the team towards a solution," he says. "Instead of blaming the previous administration, the previous administration, other departments or the economy, says 'let's talk about what we will do to ensure success.'"
As Henry Ford said, "Do not find fault, find a remedy."
"I will myself"
Leadership is not a solo act, says Price. "This attitude relates significantly to the habit 'do it yourself' (DIY), it may be good to improve the house but not to improve leadership. The higher you put the corporate ladder, the less you do personally as an individual contributor; while you do more through and for others. "
He says the goal is to put the right people in the right places and allow them to succeed.
"I know, I thought of everything"
As once said the legendary basketball coach John Wooden, "is what you learn after you know it all that counts."
"Avoid discarding or discounting the contribution of others with a smug attitude," says Price. "Even if you do not, remain teachable. When you receive and value the intelligence and employee contributions, the beams look good and feel smart. "
"Failure is not an option"
"This slogan can function as the creed of the Center for Mission Control at NASA and the title of the autobiography of Gene Kranz," says Price. "However, when a leader utters this phrase in business, is often interpreted as 'mistake is not allowed.' "
This attitude inflicts fear in followers, restricts creativity and inhibits innovation. Great leaders allowed;even encourage, people fail forward; to make mistakes in building blocks, trampolines accidents. "This is why Thomas J. Watson, founder of IBM, advised, 'the way to succeed is to double your failure rate." Or as Arianna Huffington says, "failure is not the opposite of success; is part of success. "
"That's not how we do it here"
Successful leaders are passionate about innovation; find a better way of doing something.
"In fact, Steve Jobs said," Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower. " For this reason, the best leaders value employees who demonstrate creative thinking, flexibility and problem solving skills, "Price explains.
"These phrases, at one stroke, reveal that are the opposite: stuck in the past with old, inflexible and narrow-minded thinking."
Even if you do not agree with the idea of ​​someone, instead say, "wow, that's an interesting idea. How would that work? "Or," that's a different approach. Discuss the pros and cons. "
"I want results, not relationships"
Great leaders know that the results produced by people, which requires building strong relationships with employees, leaders, customers, business partners, vendors and other key parts. "Just as in the dictionary, relationships come before the results," says Price.
"I do not care if it's unethical. If not illegal, do it"
Great leaders do not encourage or condone the corrupt and unethical behavior for the sake of achieving financial or organizational goals. "The 'end justifies the means' is no excuse for deliberate deception, disregard for company policies, compliance and malfeasance," says Price. "Instead say, 'do the right thing.'"
As Abraham Lincoln said, "Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power."
"Do not bring me bad news or surprises"
Saying this does not make the bad news and surprises disappear; it just means that people hide a time bomb under the rug. "Great leaders want to know the problems that need immediate attention; therefore say 'if there is bad news or surprises, let me be the first to know.' "
Price says, "create an environment in which people are expected to pose problems as they emerge, rather than hide them. As former Secretary of State of the United States, Colin Powell, told his team, "the bad news is not like wine. No better with time '. "
"You're lucky to have a job here"
This statement destroys momentum and morale killer. It implies you do a favor to employ a debt and have the privilege of working for you. "It depends on the employee to decide if that's true," he says. Instead try something like "we are fortunate to have you on our team."
Price says that a common denominator of great leaders is that their words and actions inspire others to "dream more, learn more, do more and become more," as John Quincy Adams said.
"That's why they are seen as leaders, the combination of communication and character force people to follow The best leaders deliberately choose specific words to say and not say, to maximize their ability to achieve results through people." .

Daniella Raffo: "E-commerce must be more human"

danielaraffo

Daniella Raffo is an important Peruvian entrepreneur who has led multiple projects, among which teaches Peru, an organization formed in 2009 whose main goal raising the educational level of marginal schools.

The other outstanding project Raffo is Linio , an online store that has positioned itself as the largest site for online marketing products in Peru, and is present in much of Latin America.
Raffo was presented on November 5 at the Pacific University of Peru (UP) to teach the strategies adopted by Amazon to convert a virtual library in one of the companies most successful e-commerce world. In this interview, discusses this phenomenon and development of e-commerce in Latin America.
One of the main projects is led teaches Peru, what is this project?
He was born with the idea of ​​giving quality education to all Peruvian children and also generate interest among young people in education. During my career I have tried to create impact initiatives, entrepreneurial and have a change in environment. My interest in Peru Teach born at the time I was with my master.
It is an organization that was founded in 2009, almost four years, which encourages teachers, graduates of the best universities in Peru, devoted two years of his life to teaching vulnerable, poor or at risk areas. Basically what it does is to bring highly motivated people with high leadership and intellectual powers to the classroom.
The other project that begins to have a grand opening at the Latin American level is Linio how this online store became the largest in Peru?
Linio began in early 2012, our idea was to revolutionize electronic commerce, break down the walls of the physical market and take all possible products. So was born the idea of ​​bringing even more people to the technology.
The idea that we promote is the payment of cash , because in Peru and other countries there is some controversy on the internet payment, believing that the product does not arrive. Such has been the main barrier we faced in Peru. So we entered the cash payment on delivery, so that people trust Linio. It is a vote of confidence, because we trust that you will pay on the door of his house. When you see that it works, they start to trust and there is no need for another strategy.
What are the main challenges of selling online?
Mainly, the habit. Peru spends a lot of time online, but buy some. The key is to create the habit. N or need to see and touch all the products to take. Therefore, we must offer a good alternative at a good price. The hard part is to create the habit.
Another challenge is to make electronic commerce more human , make us feel human touch in e-commerce. For this we have made ​​a number of strategies. The customer can e-mail us, tell us via chat or ask us to call you. We have a customer service that is in constant communication before sending the order and then.
Why you have grown so enormously e-commerce in Latin America think?
I think one factor is access to Internet connectivity. Another issue is the level of banking, because there are many people who have bank accounts, but we avoid a little cash.
However, to grow a large scale is necessary for people to visit us to have a level of banking. Newest is the dynamism of the offer, they have more online shopping, more offers, people see others buy online and perform this process is reliable.
Linio intended as a standard e-commerce and data show that is on track, but is it possible to compete directly with companies worldwide?
Yes, of course. Linio is present in four countries (Mexico, Peru, Colombia and Venezuela) and our intention is to convert Amazon Linio in Latin America. While each site has specific strategies to be developed in each country, it is possible that we can make further synergies and work together in purchasing. For example, to compete with Amazon need to carry a lot of products to a wider range of customers, at a good price and quickly. If this is not achieved in Linio, fail.
What were the strategies that made Amazon a giant in e-commerce?
The range, the size of the offer. Then there's the convenience of innovations, it a very pleasant shopping, personalization Store, recommendations, reviews, checked out in a single click or Amazon Prime. All these strategies are focused on the customers and also in low prices , which states reduce certain products causing high demand for some of them.
With regard to the jurisdiction of such products in physical stores, what are the advantages of electronic commerce?
In a digital store there is no physical space and therefore there is no limit to the number of products offered in different categories . Secondly, the digital theme allows collecting lots of data that you can use for your customers: what they like or what they prefer. This helps to understand the behavior and make better measures, which subsequently promote to customers.
How robust is the growth of electronic commerce in Peru?
No doubt it has been growing strongly. AméricaEconomía did a study that says that in Peru has grown between 40% and 50% in recent years. But, not only in Peru, also in USA has grown about 12%. The growth of Internet commerce has increased considerably in Peru, but also in Latin America.

Running a business is not always easy as each person is different and has its own needs for recognition and motivation. However, to run a business well is essential to avoid the role of boss and colleague among employees because the ideal level of emotional intelligence is that there is a distance. 
You know where you're headed
More than fifty percent of the success of running a business, being clear focus and direction . When you clear the direction you want to give the business then, decisions are mediated by this factor.
In addition, there must be a good internal communication within the company to ensure that workers have adequate information. Orders must be clear and direct.
Personal Values
An entrepreneur in the business shows a professional side. However, the real entrepreneurs who can run a business well are those that also reveal the human part in the day to day work . Nearby are people who do not earn respect through fear but the example.
Having computer vision
To reinforce the team spirit in the company is often advisable to use the word and take us in a shared successes but also failures. Do not condemn the error but assume that part of the game.
To run a business, the entrepreneur has to convey confidence and security to employees through a positive discourse. Entrepreneurs have to constantly train in the acquisition of new resources through workshops on time management, assertive communication, social skills and coaching. That is, the first step to steer well a company happens to have the humility to recognize what is not known.

How do you think a leader?

A positive and improve the beliefs you have in yourself will allow you to be a great leader mind.  Photo: archives.deccanchronicle.com
As an entrepreneur, you concentrate on the details daily to take your business to success. Surely, you are constantly worried about your sales goals or your next client meeting. Among this chaos, it is easy to forget the intangibles such as your beliefs-that play an important role in achieving the success . The most successful entrepreneurs share certain beliefs that help them to continue as they grow their businesses.
These four tips will help to promote a positive mindset and increase your chances of success.
1 Trust that you adaptarás new challenges
Successful entrepreneurs face uncertainty with confidence. When faced with little or no family challenge, think in similar situations who have overcome before or skills that may apply. "Focus on the skills you have and apply your general knowledge in everything that comes your way on the road," says Matthew Della Porta, a psychologist and organizational consultant.
If you focus on your skills or your ability to learn new ones, you will feel less overwhelmed.
2. your attributes success to hard work, not luck
Successful leaders believe their achievements are the result of hard work, and are not just circumstantial . "That is a result of self-efficacy," says Della Porta, referring to people who think you have worked hard confident in their ability to master new skills.
Leaders who are confident of their ability to learn are more apt to persevere through challenges , however difficult they may be, increasing the chances of success.
3 thinks you're single
Great entrepreneurs stand on the shoulders of giants, while successful leaders encourage their individuality. In other words, they try not to be "the next Steve Jobs . " To be successful, learn from the people you admire but do not try to imitate.
"You need to be the first to focus on you, not the next anyone else," says Della Porta. If you adopt your unique strengths, then it is more likely that you achieve stand out in an industry, regardless of what is so competitive.
4 Challenge your negative beliefs
If you want to succeed, you must remove the beliefs that could sneak around stopping. "People have a tendency to self-mutilation," says Della Porta. For example, an executive who believes not reach sales goals are more susceptible to prioritize other tasks, giving you an excuse for poor performance. Therefore, your belief becomes a prophecy.
Identifies what the objectives or activities that you are stagnating and modify your thoughts about them are. Reta any negative belief reminding yourself that you will succeed if you try hard. When your beliefs are strong and positive , your actions promote success.

Personal success: 2 things no one tells you

Keys to Personal Success
It seems today to be considered a professional or successful entrepreneur or have to be in continuous growth, reaping gains, reaching the highest. If you stay as you are, and stop growing is that you have stagnated and are failing in some way.
It is a stereotype or belief deeply rooted in society, right? It seems that if you do not follow that path and have no increasing responsibility, more pay and less time for you then is that you are not really good, you're not a professional or successful entrepreneur.
This may be true for you, then I encourage you to follow and challenging you to grow yourself, but there are also cases of people once in the top of his profession realize that is not what they really wanted and leave all to devote to something quieter. Or people who are raised as they are comfortable and do not want to continue to grow, but doubt if that is not being paying or are unambitious. Do you identify with any of these cases?
I, of course, yes. When I started working in a lab my dream was the Nobel Prize (typically clear), but after a year working too decided that maybe rather not be Nobel prize and have more time for my stuff. As a coach I also know of other cases wildly successful coaches who do not stop doing things, and I find admirable but I've realized that I do not want that; I do not want to spend my life from town to town giving talks, for instance.
For a while I thought I was maybe sabotaging myself, it would be insecurity or fear, but recently reading (highly recommended btw) book "Living Without boss" Sergio Fernandez in which he spoke of the alleged need to grow professionally continuously, I realized that it is not self-sabotage, it's just what I want, the lifestyle you want and when you reach a certain point not interest me grow (at least today) because I am more than satisfied with time than I have available to me and my family. Does that mean you never get to be considered successful professional?
Whether the idea of ​​successful professional today there are two things to say and some are essential:
1 The word "success" has the same meaning for everyone, and it is essential that you decide what it means to you, how far you want to go. Because it is absurd to base your life on the definitions and beliefs of others and dedicate yourself to rack up achievements and then realize you're overwhelmed, stressed and dissatisfied with your situation tremendously.
2 It is not necessary to reach the top or be continually growing to feel good or successful person. That does not mean that you use this as an excuse to stay as you are and not move, or anything, just that you consider where you have to grow up to feel full and satisfied.

4 things you should learn from your employees

Troubleshooting 4 . It is true that business owners also face problems every day, but maybe solved differently. Giving orders to other people or having more ideas at ease. You will learn to face this kind of situation and react quickly.

How to become a bold person

Audacity: how to develop in their work as
Throughout our lives, situations that challenge us or frighten us arise;events that require us determination and courage to overcome fear doubt and neglect. Some, however, assume certain risks and choose to settle and live on less than what could be achieved. 
Life is a dynamic environment characterized by multiple surprises and changes.Faced with these frequent changes, with unexpected frequency, can assume different positions: paralyze, postpone, or act timidly rise above the fear and take risks.
This ability to take risks with a view to overcome or improve, is what is known as audacity. The person bold behavior, moving toward their dreams in spite of difficulties and dangers, because trust their ability to find effective ways to crystallize their desires. The bold, believes that the prize is worth the risk, that price has decided to pay. In other words, boldness is the ability to act in spite of fear.
Audacity is a powerful leverage point that brings about change, it mobilizes its resources despite not having ideal conditions, or special or additional efforts required. Thanks to this special attribute, we have to overcome as individuals, couples, families or groups, difficult times before which passivity or resignation would have been fatal.
Overcome economic hardship, recovering from an illness, a divorce or undertake defend aggressors are situations that may demand boldness. Even to enjoy a decent life based on peace, justice, freedom and prosperity, may require a degree of boldness.
It must be said that like everything, boldness must have limits, must build upon the reason, because I priate standing on the edges of recklessness, it can cause accidents, illness and even death. Not just bet an amount that stake everything. The calculated risk, is the strategy of those who are brave but also intelligent.
There are many who value and support the bold attitude: The fine pen wrote Baltasar Gracian: "Put an ounce of courage in everything you do." Seneca said many things became difficult for those without daring to undertake them. According to John Dewey, the advance of science is due to the audacity of the imagination. And to the genius of the strategy, Niccolo Machiavelli, "better else to do and repent, and do not repent."
Bolívar was bold when he faced a war that led to him being Liberator of five nations; Gandhi was brave when attacked, humiliated and imprisoned, became irreducible and under the holy slogan of "non-violence", achieved political liberation of India; is brave mother goes to work for a decent living and raise their children; the child who is bold demands his father abuse his mother; is bold and assertive worker who asks his boss respect the agreements that have been established.
Usually relates to the audacity and prudence youth with maturity, although in the opinion of Luis Alberto Machado, much of the creative genius of many intellectuals arose when they were between 60 and 80 years of age.
Boldness is usually caused confidence, desperation or madness. Risks which you think you can, which has nothing to lose and not properly calibrated the degree of danger. In all cases, take risks produce higher and better than those derived from the inertia or apathy results.
Furthermore, if we look carefully, life is risk. No one knows whether it awake the next day. so it is not possible to live without risk.
Arguably, in neuroscientific terms, that there is a biochemical audacity. science has discovered that exploratory behaviors and positive expectations, increase dopamine levels in the blood, which produces feelings of euphoria and pleasure. This means that boldness accompanied by optimistic thoughts is emotionally rewarding, but when risks are taken from the perspective of negative or pessimistic thoughts, the area of ​​the brain that governs fear, limbic area, specifically the so-called "brain tonsils is activated. "
You may even learn some courage and come equipped with a temperament that drives risky adventure.Others are born with a sensitive nervous system. According to Jerome Kagan, a psychologist at Harvard University, would be 20% the number of likely risk to flee and maintain emotional stability and comfort subjects. Although it states that with effort and a proper context, can overcome these limitations.
Some useful suggestions for developing boldness, are:
- Take a small risk every day: Create an emotional change requires a change in the brain, and the best way is to take small steps repeated and sustained over time.
- Train yourself: The practice generates domain. Take risks that you can lose or make mistakes without being too affected. Invite someone to dance, ask for a phone number of a person you like and ask for a price cut, work.
- Accept a margin of error: Assume that small failures are tolerable, and will take such steps to great opportunities.
- Risk more where it is most needed: If you require couples to risk there, if you need money, take more risk and seek options in this area of ​​your life.
- Plan: Risking not mean to commit follies. Can you try to control the details and make more hits each time.

5 rules for young leaders

Your job as a leader is to empower and be aware of their potential, not just receiving orders from you.  Photo: innozac.com
I'm sure many entrepreneurs and business owners confess being in a stressful situation. In these circumstances the leaders can rely on the option to "say yes to everything and figure out what to do next" which can cause distress, frustration and some sleepless nights.
Many years ago I worked for a large chain, I became general manager in my 24 years by becoming one of the youngest at that position in the string. I was excited and determined to be successful but I was also terrified. I had a lot of responsibility and I worried that people would not take me seriously.
I definitely learned from my mistakes. I looking back, I'm grateful that managers to bet on which of the new fail. The leadership lessons I learned from that experience were profound and helped me become the person I am today.
1 Delegate and trust that others can keep up . Learn to give up control. Sometimes it is appropriate to take the reins, but sometimes can give that benefit employees. When I was in charge and had a bad economic times, I had to face the challenge of firing many people. I called everyone and asked them how we could cut the budget to dismiss the fewest individuals.
I will never forget how this group of creative people and thought about certain strategies to share schedules and spend less while satisfying the customer.Losing control can raise the self-esteem of members and give them a chance to learn from the experience.
2 Be a good coach and mentor to your employees. Your job as a leader is to empower and be aware of their potential, not just receiving orders from you. Start being there for new hires or when someone starts a new project. Be creative and have an open mind about the unique opportunities for personal and professional development of employees. Some believe this only makes a person with several years of experience.
A real and powerful mentoring happens when two people work together regardless of age or years of experience to support, train and give feedback to each other. This works best when there is respect between the two and are level. Empowering people will give certain benefits like being able to focus more on developing a broader vision and a long-term strategy for the business.
3 Always do your best work. Doing things quality is the best way to look good, well, you never know if someone is watching. Team members see everything they do and say the leaders. Watch your conduct, behavior and actions because everything has an impact on others.
4 Give yourself permission to take risks. A boss once told me "It's much easier to ask forgiveness than permission." These words changed my life. Everyone makes mistakes and it is good to trust your instincts and not think about every decision you make.
The fear of making a mistake causes us not to take risks or that we can not move forward with decisions. many leaders remain in the analysis, this can happen as statistics, data collection, surveys, prolonging the process of decision making. This will make your employees will become frustrated and lose confidence or respect as a leader.
5 Never burn bridges. In some situations this may seem like the only option, but first ask yourself if your actions can make you regret. You can fight for your principles without affecting anyone. Think of all those with whom you have contacted your business as a potential partner, employee or prospective client.Opera with a mindset to continue to work and act with respect and integrity in business and in your life.

An example for life, is the significance of Abraham Lincoln as a child born in poverty and without education, became the greatest president in the history of the United States.  Photo: biography.com
If we knew the task of knowing the lives of leaders who have been through our history and have left significant mark on the world, we could conclude that they all had special characteristics that distinguished them and they certainly were which led them to the place they occupied.
You can say you have to meet many requirements to become a great leader, such as values, communication skills, emotional, social intelligence ; with ability to plan; setting goals etc. But, in my assessment, if a leader lacks three important virtues, his leadership could be rendered transcendent effect.
Can you be a leader without passion, perseverance and patience? ..
My answer would be no without thinking. One common among world leaders is that inner force that drives individuals to accomplish what you set out to; is important to have that driving force and excites us, allowing us to vibrate manner akin to what we want. Without passion for our vision no less motivation and commitment.
The virtue of perseverance and patience together make an important team, at first glance does not seem to have anything to do with patience, perseverance , but it is not, both virtues are related and are essential to the development of our life in general, imagine how necessary they are as a leader.
Without perseverance nothing is accomplished, think of all the falls and failures that leaders in our history have had throughout its mission to achieve its goals, surely it was not easy to get there but as popularly say "he who perseveres reaches" However there are many times when perseverance is broken for not having patience in waiting.
While it is true that perseverance does not guarantee success, it is impossible to succeed without perseverance.
An example for life, is the significance of Abraham Lincoln that being a child born in poverty and without education, became the greatest president in the history of the United States. He managed to free the slaves and is considered a universal example of courage and integrity; on occasion he said: "What I have in education I have been collecting here and there, under the requirements of necessity"; already meddled in politics if he had given up the first time he was defeated in the election for the vice presidency of the United States by the Republican Party or the assassination attempt once elected as president he had been discouraged, his mark would not be printed in the world's books.
This shows that not enough to want to do something, it is important that excites us our goal; that moves us so much that you may need to try again and again to accomplish what we intend; perhaps going to be important to rethink the target on occasion; may fall into a rut of insecurities that make us believe that you have no point in fighting many situations may occur along the way to our goal, it is important not to lose sight of what we want, we must try and try Once the necessary forms but with the assurance that if we want to and are patient the result of our insistence come sooner or later.

Conflict management within the company is an extreme situation that can bring benefits to both leaders and employees of the organization , because its resolution involves change and process improvement. 
Conflict can arise from differences between two or more people, or as a result of disagreement towards policies or processes of the leaders said the expert in Organizational Communication, Iván López.
"When problems are addressed properly, the result helps the staff to be more innovative, stimulates the creation of effective teams and raising productivity," says Lopez.
The best way to resolve a conflict is to face it openly , as this improves the chances of reaching agreements that achieve goals, said the expert in Leadership, Organizational Behavior and Conflict Negotiation, George Kohlrieser.

1 Cultivate a relationship with your "adversary" to disrupt the key conflict lies in establishing a link to reset it, or if you have deteriorado- with the other party. This is not necessary that the individual will pleasing; all that is needed is a common goal.Treat the person as a friend, and the relationship based on mutual respect and cooperation. Leaders must learn to differentiate between the person and the problem, and avoid negative reactions to attacks or intense emotions.

3 "Put the fish on the table": This expression means asking a difficult question without hostility. The phrase comes from Sicily, where fishermen display their booty on a big table, to clean together. If you leave "under the table", begins to rot and stink. But if you raise the issue, you can begin to clarify the mess. You must be direct but respectful and speak always the right time.
4 Understand the cause of conflict: Among the roots of a discrepancy are differences in terms of goals, interests or values. They could also influence opposite problem and to different communication styles perceptions. The power, rivalry, insecurity, resistance to change and role confusion are other reasons for disagreement. It is crucial to determine whether the conflict is taken for interest or needs. The former are more transient and superficial, such as ownership of land, money or a job; needs are more basic and difficult to negotiate: identity, security and respect, to name a few. Many conflicts seem to follow interests, when in fact they are the product of needs.
5 Apply the law of reciprocity: This is the basis of cooperation and collaboration. In general, what you give is what you get. Recently, several researchers have discovered "mirror neurons" in the brain, indicating that the limbic system (emotional brain) where empathy is, we recreated the experience of the intentions and emotions of the other. exchange and adaptation internal allow two individuals to be able to identify with the other inner states . Consequently, both may make the necessary concessions in due time.
