From different expectations, values and opinions to disagreements over work styles, getting into an argument in the workplace is almost inevitable. While arguing just for the sake of arguing is pointless, having a constructive argument with a coworker on a valid subject can have a positive effect on productivity and creativity in the workplace. Akhtaboot provides you with some tips on how to make a valid point during arguments.
1. Stay calm - Even if you get passionate about your point you must stay cool and in command of your emotions. If you lose your temper, you lose!
2. Study your opponent - Know their strengths, weaknesses, beliefs and values. You can appeal to their higher values. You can exploit their weaknesses by turning their arguments back on them.
3. Avoid being subjective - Don't base your arguments on your personal opinion; use facts and logic.
