Getting Personal

Have you ever reacted to a situation which actually made matters worse, rather than better? Looking back on that situation, do you wish you had reacted differently? If you had reacted differently, how would that have changed the outcome?

If this example doesn’t apply to you personally, have you ever observed another person reacting to a situation, which only made the situation worse, and this negative outcome could have been avoided if that person had reacted differently? What was the situation, and why would a different reaction have been more productive?
