Dealing with the negatives

I think in any context of life, it is important to know how to respond to negativity with positive and constructive actions. Before I got married, my husband and I underwent premarital counseling which helped us to communicate better and fight fairly. I've actually used the lessons taught in those sessions in everyday life, my work atmosphere, and with personal relationships. Those lessons included: 1) think before you speak, 2) never approach a situation with your finger pointed ready to accuse, 3) listen, and 4) "I feel" not "you do". Today I found an interesting article that discusses how to talk to a negative employee and turn the situation into a positive. Enjoy!
