Summary
Halfway through a heated argument, have you ever wondered what you're even fighting about? In this episode of DarrenDaily On-Demand, Darren Hardy reveals why almost no conflict is actually about the thing being argued, and shares the emotional intelligence move that lets you defuse tension instead of escalating it. Using the story of a CEO he mentors whose offhand dinner comment triggered a full-blown blowup, and a senior executive whose reaction in a meeting seemed wildly out of proportion, Darren shows what was really driving each one. This episode dives into the two questions that reveal what the other person actually needs, a leadership and relationship skill that works just as well at home as it does at work.
