Kari called a meeting to discuss the details of an upcoming project with her team. She wanted to promote emotional intelligence so she tried to stay level headed and calm. She needed everyone to work later than usual for the assignment to stay on track. One of the employees disagreed. They showed wonderful constructive disagreement skills when they made sure to mention that although Kerry had made a valid point, showing up earlier would work just as well as working late and would fit better with some of the team members personal schedules. Carrie listened to what was said and after emphasizing the importance of meeting the deadline.

She told the team members that she didn't mind what extra hours were worked as long as the deadline was met.
