The most recent problem I encountered with another team member was also actually with a fellow manager. We were in conversation and I was being sarcastic with my word choice or having fun bantering or at least I thought we weren't, but that person did not understand my sense of humor or whatever their day was looking like on their side and did not find the jokes funny. So after taking a moment, getting a little separation, came back and spoke with the manager and said, hey, sorry, this came across confusing. Here's where I was coming from and she realized that I was being sarcastic, but in that moment she was under a lot of stress. Anyway, we came to terms in conversation with each other, not through text or email or anything like that, direct conversation. Everything resolved amicably, we're still good to this day. But just understanding people's lenses when communicating, sometimes what you're saying is not what's being received and being able to come back, circle back and have clarity on what the topic is will always move the conversation forward.
