I am also wondering this , how can we do this without being confrontational and also not being too wordy that you lose interest
Maybe receiving party should also take active part in understanding the communication so we don’t put whole burden on sender.
Because that’s causing people to stop communicating which is the worst outcome.
I already had couple team mates - that people didn’t want to communicate with.
Confrontation turns into a collaboration request.
What often happens if my manager objects is the urgency of "it's already happening" will result in him wanting to pause on it, if it's important to him.
Most of the time it's "ok, sounds good" where there's a clear trust between us. Or it might result in a "ok, sounds good -- just make sure so-and-so is aware too".
