I had to work with a lot of people that I had to correct, and I had to deal with many customers that were very demanding and rude. In this I learned that there is a very important and hard balance to find between being stern and being nice about it. I agree with Zac as well, if we put ourselves in their shoes it is a lot easier to find that balance.

I have found that when I think about the alternative idea being presented by the other person and the outcome, it usually isn't as bad as I thought. Place yourself in their shoes. See the situation from their perspective. It usually doesn't turn out as bad as we originally thought. However, there are situations where the ideas being presented will have dire consequences, in this case, we should communicate that to the person by telling them what the result of their actions will be and what they think about that outcome. I think it helps when they realize the mistake they are making from their own perspective. That way, they will be more willing to try an alternative method.
