Diplomatic

     Being diplomatic can increase your ability to form and keep good relationships and influence others.  Traits include being sensitive and having the ability to put yourself in the place of others.  Being polite, courteous, and tactful helps when presenting your own ideas.  Finding mutually acceptable solutions helps maintain good relations.
     Diplomacy needs to be used in a variety of situations at home and in society.  Relationships between spouses and between parents and children should reflect the advantages of diplomacy.  Children will learn these traits which will help them make friends and influence people.
     Adults need to realize how these traits can improve relations with other individuals and within organizations.  We need to judge what we hear and read to realize the presence or absence of diplomacy.  When anyone presents their opinions and neglects to be diplomatic, their influence will be limited.  If they are tactless, offensive, intolerant, and insulting in describing people or different points of view, their power of persuasion will only inflame the narrow-minded.
