Letting one save face! How important, how vitally important that is! And how few of us ever stop to think of it! We ride roughshod over the feelings of others, getting our own way, finding fault, issuing threats, criticizing a child or an employee in front of others, without even considering the hurt to the other person’s pride.
Whereas a few minutes’ thought, a considerate word or two, a genuine understanding of the other person’s attitude, would go so far forward alleviating the sting!
Let’s remember that the next time we are faced with the distasted necessity of discharging or reprimanding an employee.
Calling attention to one’s mistake indirectly works wonders with sensitive people who may resent bitterly any direct criticism.
