- AThe reason is that achieving agreement requires people to accept the reality of views different from their own and to accept change or compromise.
- BThey (and probably you) have to be persuaded and helped to feel comfortable about the outcome that is eventually agreed.
- CIt is not just a matter of putting forward a set of facts and expecting the other person immediately to accept the logic of the exposition.
