Impartiality is an irreplaceable quality for journalists, judges, businessmen, managers, psychologists. It is characterized as fairness and impartiality in decision-making and, at the same time, far from cynicism and indifference. Being impartial means being objective, being able to distance yourself from emotions and looking at the same event or problem from different points of view.
Instructions
Step 1
We control emotions and avoid rushing decisions. Most people make decisions hastily, based on the momentary vision of the situation, their own emotions, or the opinion of strangers. Then, seeing the outcome of the decision, they begin to regret what they have done. But it is not always possible to correct the result obtained. When you need to make an important decision, try to mentally distance yourself from the situation, as if you were not a participant in it, but an outside observer.
Step 2
Even slow breathing can help calm your emotions. Take a deep breath and exhale several times, or close your eyes and slowly count to ten. If possible, postpone the decision to another day when the feelings have cooled down, and you can look at the problem from the point of view of reason, not emotion.
Step 3
Analyze the situation and try to look at it from different points of view. You need, as in the first step, to distance yourself from the existing problem and become an independent expert for a while. Think about what another person could do in your place, ask several people for their opinion. Least of all it is recommended to seek advice from friends. “Friends,” says Christian Friedrich Goebbel, “cannot be impartial and are often even unfair, trying to maintain impartiality.” Create multiple conflict resolution models and move on to the next step.
Step 4
We assess the prospects for the decision. The ability to look into the future is an important quality of a successful business leader. Try to calculate all possible scenarios after making a decision. Ask yourself: “What can happen a day, a month, a year, ten years after I do this? Who, besides me, will benefit from the decision, and who will be harmed? What risks can haunt me and others in this situation? " Evaluate the perspective of each created behavior model and choose the "golden mean" that would suit you and would be as fair as possible in relation to the people around you.
