Thanks Donna for sharing. You are correct… being RESPECTFUL is so important because it not always what you say but how you say it. When I’m real emotional and fired up, bubbling with some anger on the rise, I do my best to take a deep breath to calm down so I don’t say something that I will later regret. Every team has a difference of opinions but the key is to remember that there will be times when have to “agree to disagree” and that’s ok because we’re committed to the ultimate goal of succeeding as a TEAM.

This is a great post with great suggestions for keeping the peace while also taking steps to resolve the disagreement. Finding that balance can be tricky and it will be different for each couple — and also different during different circumstances and stages of life! The key is to be respectful of one another and remember that you have the same goals and are a team. You can disagree with your team member, but how you do it can mean the difference between a successful team and an unsuccessful one. Thanks for the tips!
