Just as no one wants to have a conversation with the back of someone’s head, talking to someone with an extremely closed posture creates a more difficult and unpleasant conversation. Leaning back, crossing arms, or turning away from the speaker conveys a very different message – and not a positive one.

The author’s summarize how to resist the “Fool’s Choice” like this… They say, “Fortunately, when you refuse the Fool’s Choice––when you require your brain to solve the more complex problem––more often than not, it does just that.”* The author’s of Crucial Conversations say, “We adore the ease of simply choosing between attacking or hiding––and the fact that we think it makes us look good.”* However, the author’s argue that we should resist this choice and rather deal with the complexity of the situation.
