Decisions aren't always easy to make but as leaders we have to for the better.

Take a look at a few of the practical ideas below to help you get started on the road to confronting your difficult decision:

1. Write out your decision/words first and show a trusted friend. Drafting something in an email that you have to show to an objective person forces you to lose the drama and focus on the facts.

2. Be “for” the other person as much as possible. Let them see that you sincerely want the highest possible good for their life.

3. Communicate in the same way that you would want them to communicate with you.

Be succinct, direct, compassionate, and clear.

4. Reiterate your points and ask them to respond back so you know that they have heard you and understand you.

Similarly, all people involved in a difficult situation are better off with timely, clear, and honest, yet compassionate decisions and communicate.
