What are the steps I should follow before answering a question? - BEFORE - Read the question twice. - Gather the facts. DRAFTING - Remain purely objective. Your response should be non-judgemental, nonconfrontational, and you should not jump to conclusions. "First, I will remain objective, non-judgemental, non-confrontational, and not jump to any conclusions." - If applicable, mention holding a private conversation with the individual to gather all facts. This should be done in a non-accusatory and polite manner. - Have a general concern for the wellbeing and safety of all people involved. - Act accordingly based on the evidence presented. - Final decision will solely be based on the evidence and my expertise, and not based on personal backgrounds. Husband wants to get a promotion, wife wants him to take paternity leave. He believes work may not be understanding of his leave and he'll lose his chance at promotion. 1. Would you recommend he take paternity leave? Why or why not? 2. What strategies could you offer to help him make a decision that he feels comfortable with? 3. Maintaining a work-life balance can be challenging. Why do you think people struggle to find balance? - 1. - As a friend offering advice on the situation, I would first make sense of the substance that is presented to me before jumping to any conclusions. - I would simply gather all the facts that I could on the matter by holding a private conversation with xyz, asking a series of questions regarding the policy and culture around paternity leave at work, his home life and if his spouse can accommodate such changes if he were to get the promotion, as well as his opinion on the matter and where his priorities lie. - Does he want to work his way to obtain the promotion to further support his family or would he rather spend quality time with his newborn and spouse than obtain the said promotion? - Based on his response to any of my former questions, I would then be able to provide a firm answer on whether or not he should take paternity leave. 2. - I would encourage xyz to gather facts than listening to hearsay. Instead of assuming that the same outcome would occur based on someone else's individual experience, he should take it upon himself to collect as much information on the matter as possible before jumping to a conclusion. Some circumstances can be very different from how others perceive them to be, so he should make an informed decision. - A possible activity for this strategy could be creating a graphic organizer with a table depicting the pros and the cons of both scenarios. From there, he can visually see which option brings more pros than cons and vice-versa.
