Those who manage to establish a good relationship with those they speak to can have more constructive discussions and achieve better work results. The key is communicating with respect and appreciation with a prerequisite of an "open ear" for one's own sensitivities as well as the known sensitivities of the person you're having a conversation with.

This creates the basis for constructive dialog.
