Most communication problems occur when people get stuck in "my way vs. your way."

One of the biggest barriers to resolving these kinds of differences is a lack of helpful feedback about how we impact others. We get:

• Critical feedback, which triggers our defenses.
• Vague feedback, which doesn't help us change our behavior.
• No feedback at all, which perpetuates the situation.
