Freshly homemade lasagna sounds appealing but may not be what you want in the morning. Job offers when you are fully engaged and satisfied with your work and career are not necessarily a welcomed diversion today. Timing is critical for the mundane and the important.
The effectiveness of any relationship and team development relies on good communication and requires an appropriate level and ability to engage in conflict. While necessary, the critical element is timing.
Be tactical in the timing of feedback and questioning. Sometimes are better for engaged discussion, and we are receptive to others where delaying the conversation is best. It may be as simple as asking, “is this a good time for us to discuss?” and “If not, when?”
