How to handle angry people or complaints from supervisors, subordinates, clients?
Dealing with complaints or upset individuals can often lead to conflicts. ๐ก
Sometimes such events are beyond our control, or the person may not even want the issue resolved.
However, we can use certain steps ๐ฅพ that can help us in such situations.
โ๏ธ When someone approaches you with a complaint and is angry, the first step is to adapt.
Your response could be: “Iโm sorry to hear that youโre not satisfied” or “Iโm sorry this happened to you.”
Itโs important to be non-confrontational towards their demands or complaints.
โ๏ธ Next, you can add a calming comment.
Instead of promising specific actions, express your belief that you will find a solution.
If the person genuinely intends to resolve the issue, you can expect cooperation at this stage.
โ๏ธ Then, start asking questions about the details of the problem.
Encourage them to clearly describe their issue (they can also provide an example), which allows for the beginning of concrete problem-solving.
You can repeat these phases if the person remains very upset.
Itโs crucial to maintain your calm during this process.
However, if the person does not wish to cooperate in resolving the issue, it may be better to let them express their emotions.
