All of us have had to — or will — deal with a frustrating work situation at some point in our careers, whether it's a loud deskmate, an unproductive meeting or a project that went off the rails. There's a better approach to handling difficult conversations at work, Chris Capossela, Microsoft's chief marketing officer, argues — and it starts with clear, confident communication. Capossela has spent his 31-year career at Microsoft mastering the art of communication, even serving as a speechwriter for then-CEO Bill Gates between 1997 and 1999. Before Capossela initiates or participates in a difficult work conversation, he starts with an email. I'd love to meet with you and hear your thoughts on what those steps might look like.
