How do you handle the situation when you have some very important information for someone that you know that they need and want, and yet when you try to get together with them they do everything in their power to avoid giving you the opportunity to tell them what it is they need to know. That is the situation I have been finding myself in lately – people have been going off half-cocked and making bad decisions because they are not fully informed about things, and the reason they are not fully informed is because they have been avoiding me.
Then when they find out that they made a mistake and it could have been avoided if they had just taken a couple of minutes out of their day to let me fill them in on the details they get angry with me. Of course I let them know that I’ve been trying to reach them to fill them in on the situation, but that just throws fuel to the fire. I blame this on people being self-centered. What do you think?
