Push to Resoultion
This is an old HR/Employee Relations approach that I learned years ago. It essentially means that you create or encourage a situation where a decision has to be made or intentions become very clear. Usually it is a very direct approach where the situation is purposely manipulated to provide only one of several outcomes. At work it is usually very time-sensitive and usually ends with a separation of employment.
In life, it is more difficult to manufacture these kinds of situations because there is less control of the people involved, and there is a wider range of acceptable behavior outside of the workplace. But when you have these “pushed to resolution” moments they are VERY defining. It’s like a light has been turned on in a very dark room where your eyes have not been able to make out anything but vague shapes. “Pushing to resolution” brings things into better, clearer relief. And just as happens in a work situation, these personal ones usually end with a separation of some sort.
The good thing about “pushing to resolution” in your personal life is that once you have that resolution, you can move on. You then have the information that you need to take that next step, to make the next decision. There is one variable no longer in the way. There is one more question that has been answered. Sometimes there are more than one answers.
You can only hope that any separation is one you are ready for and can handle.
