Okay - this is an unusual word to use in a business setting. But the question for today is, how faithful are you to this process of taking responsibility, being more collaborative and using influence in positive ways? What do you do when your attempts at connection or reconciliation are rejected? How do you handle it when your other person simply stops responding to you? What if your other person turns into your enemy?
Today's Challenge: Being someone who sees others as people and being a responsive person is a choice not a feeling. It is an initiated action, not an impulsive reaction. Choose today to be committed to the choice of being a responsive person even if your other person has lost most of their interest in returning that responsiveness. Say to them today, in words similar to these, "I am here for you, I am your ally - period. And no matter what you do, I will never stop being there for you, I will never stop being helpful and I will never stop seeing you as a person who deserves only the very best from me."
When complete: 1. What was your other person's response? 2. What made this so difficult for you to do? 3. On a scale of 1 to 10 how committed are you to seeing your other person as a person forever?
