    Confront People Immediately

Transcript

The more confrontational you are, the less beef and problems you'll actually have with people. A lot of us assume if you just take the high road and don't address things, that it'll make your life easier. When in fact, it's actually the opposite. Each time you don't address something, it actually expands the problem and increases the confidence of the other person. By not addressing things that need to be addressed, the person thinks that they can get away with whatever they're doing. But here's what's great. The faster you start addressing things, the easier the conversation will be and the less escalated that it's going to become.
