The Point: Some people call it personality conflict. You know the situation. Where you can't seem to get along with a few people, and can't really figure out why? Much of the time, the problem is one of communication, both your's and how the other person communicates.
You can't do a lot about other people, but you can learn to change the words you use to reduce unnecessary conflict in the workplace. This card teaches you to eliminate phrases and words that are likely to cause conflict, and explains how to replace them with other ways to say things. In other words we explain how to sound more cooperative and less confrontational.
Here's a quote from the actual card:
People look at your communication BEHAVIOR. If it is confrontational, people will react negatively. If it is cooperative, even difficult people will be more likely to "work with you". You can save yourself a considerable time, aggravation and stress by learning how to use language in cooperative ways.
Not only that, your organization is much more likely to recognize your ability, if you are a more cooperative sounding person.
