When to use it

Any conversation where you want several things at once and they do not agree.

The steps

  1. Pick the situation.
  2. List every outcome you want.
  3. Identify which of them conflict.
  4. Rank them.
  5. Select one primary intention.
  6. Select one secondary intention, only if it is genuinely necessary.
  7. Build the communication around the primary one.
  8. Deliver.
  9. Check whether a secondary intention took control.

You know it worked when

You communicate with one clear dominant purpose.

What else it works, and why

Message
Conflicting objectives produce overloaded, unfocused messages.
Presence
Competing motives show up as hesitation, over explaining and defence.
