If you oversee a team of people, work in HR, or care about your colleagues and friends, you may have to enter into a tough conversation.  For example, you may be put into a position where an employee complains to you about a colleague with bad behavior, an unacceptable attitude or a lack of commitment. Are you up for the challenge?

The best feedback, although it may not be easy, is straightforward and simple. If you are uncomfortable with holding a tough conversation, you may want to start with the soft approach to alert the employee to a potentially embarrassing discussion. If you are uncomfortable in delivering an unwelcome message, you can say that too, as you get started.

Join author, speaker and senior HR professional Carol Hacker, of Hacker & Associates, as she discusses how to handle tough conversations.
