Tags for the session –

• Perfectionism
• Sense of urgency
• Defensiveness
• Quantity over quality
• Only one right way
• Either/or thinking
• Power hoarding
• Fear of open conflict

the link above is to an article I find really helpful in these conversations.

The article contains a definition and an antidote for each of the items I listed. 

Since this can be an overwhelming conversation for some folks, keeping to basics, having clear definitions and an antidote can support effective communication and next steps.
