Say you need to broach a difficult conversation with a direct report or colleague. In this case, even if there's someone else who might enjoy carrying out conflict resolution, you must be the one who handles the situation.

Took me a minute to realize this post appears to be the author's notes from reading the book Who Not How[0].
