You Canât be Serious - A Lesson in Diplomacy â¦
You Canât Be Serious – âThe good lifeâ¦â
Collins English Dictionary defines diplomacy as âthe skill of being careful to say or do things which will not offend peopleâ. I would carry the definition of diplomacy further than Collins and say that it includes the art of getting others to do things they might not otherwise have done.
I am not a good diplomat, but I truly admire this quality in others. The following example is one I have told to many; but it always worth repeating â if only for its simplicity of execution.
