That’s a great point Kai. If someone told me something “in confidence” then I would likely not use their meaning in the CC. I would only share meaning I was willing to “own” or explain where the source came from. This can be an incredibly sticky situation and the more that I focus on what I really want the better I will be at sharing the right meaning. I think I would hold a different conversation with the team members who are gossiping about why they aren’t holding the CC THEY should be holding. I think that is a conversation we don’t have enough. We are happy to listen to people’s gripes as we try to be a good sounding board. But if we don’t encourage them to then master those stories and go hold the CC that is keeping them stuck, I think we are doing more harm then good when we listen to these gossip “drive bys.”

So if I say, “I have some concerns I want to discuss with you. Some members on the team have come to me and have stated that they perceived your comments in the meeting as_____. I’m not sure what to think, and I wanted to talk to you directly to know more.” I would expect the initial response to often be, “Which team members?” If one was told the information in confidence, as is often the case, how would you recommend answering this question?
