Putting My Foot Down

In a staff meeting there were differing views between myself and one of my staff members. I began to power play, or put my foot down, wanting to end the particular discussion and move on. But I was aware that I was getting very frustrated and impatient while the staff member was getting very upset. Realizing that this wouldn’t be a good/ healthy place to end the discussion, for myself or the staff member, we took extra time to hear and recognize their concerns.
