How To Know Whether To “Correct” Your Coworkers Or Just Let It Slide

When it comes to particular things in the work field one particular question is knowing whether or not to correct your coworkers or let it slide. In more detail to this particular aspect itself one question to ask yourself include knowing whether or not you are sharing a fact or an opinion. One other things is to know just what credibility you have in the area.

Key Takeaways:

  • The one who can never seem to bite his tongue. He feels an overwhelming urge to speak up with a correction, no matter how unimportant or minuscule it might be.
  • You could say, “Wow, the sky sure is blue today,” and he would immediately clear his throat and respond with, “Actually, I think the right word for that would be teal.”
  • You know that guy, right? And, chances are, you find him completely obnoxious. So, understandably, you’d like to do everything you possibly can to avoid being just like him.

“Knowing when to voice a correction and when to keep your lips zipped can be a challenge. So, in those moments when you’re deciding between the two, consider these four questions.”
