Giving and Receiving Negative News Discussion Instructions

Part 1: Post a paragraph for discussion in the group forum

Think of a time when you have had to give or receive negative news.

Discuss at least two of the following critical thinking questions and provide personal examples:

If you had to reveal bad news to your parents or to your partner (such as denting the fender of that person's car), what strategies and/or considerations would you try to keep in mind? Why?

What are some techniques you could use to soften the blow of bad news? Provide specific examples.

Do you prefer to use the direct or indirect approach for delivering bad news? Why?

When an organization has to reveal disappointing news to customers, employees, or others,

what goals should it try to achieve?

Your post should be between 150-250 wor-ds.
