do you choose your words carefully to get your point across?

It depends on the situation .. At work I have to use a lot of diplomacy and tact to get my point across.

I try to be as diplomatic as possible, except diplomacy and tact gets tossed by the wayside sometimes.  My ex of 15 plus years and I had a saying, "Diplomacy and finesse, at some point, gets thrown out of the window." :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :wave:

I would love to have diplomacy - tact. Unfortunately, the first words that come into my head are usually the first ones that come out of my mouth. :sad1:

I have to because I employ a lot of people and I need them to understand me, although I do not think they listen all of the time

Depends on if I am really mad.

Even if I am mad I try to use tact, however, you can tell what I'm thinking usually by looking at my face.  Good thing people can't see you over the phone at times.

I think diplomacy, tact and respect are good to use in any situation. They will always get you further than hostile actions.

I try to think about what I am saying before it leaves my mouth. Hopefully I am successful the majority of the time.
