Breaking bad news - a management training course

How can you be clear and firm but not brutal in breaking bad news to someone? 

  • By expressing your own regret or discomfort at being the bearer of the news.
  • By warning them to prepare themselves for an emotional shock.
  • By giving the bad news unambiguously and straight.
  • By allowing them time to express their distress, disappointment or anger.
  • By answering any questions they may have as helpfully as you can.
