6-2 Short Paper: Building Common Ground and Trust Using Evidence

Instructions:

One of the ways management can manage difficult situations, collect relevant information, and build common ground and trust with employees is establishing communication based on evidence rather than judgment.

Using the final project transcripts provided, create a list of the relevant facts that are pertinent to the case. This is information that you would use to determine the outcome of the case—or evidence. Additionally, create a list of judgment comments you find in the transcripts. Judgments are information that could not be used to defend the actions in the case because they are feelings, emotion, or opinion—not fact.
