Leaders, managers, and entrepreneurs may sometimes be bearers of bad news, or may have to make difficult decisions.

More often than not, when communicated, difficult decisions like layoffs, paycuts, or even pausing a project with a client may evoke instant emotional reactions.

Or worse, leave lasting scars, or affect relationships.

In this short episode, we talk about communicating difficult decisions clearly, effectively yet, gracefully!
