When we are under pressure from a sense of responsibility, it is natural to want to escape, but long-term avoidance may damage the relationship of trust or self-growth. Here are some healthier coping strategies that can reduce conflicts while protecting your boundaries and interpersonal relationships.： **1. Redefine attribution of responsibility** -Look at the problem from the perspective of "shared responsibility", for example: "I am more familiar with this part of the content. Can I take the lead?" Other parts may require everyone to collaborate" (suggesting division of labor adjustment) -Propose an alternative plan: "I can be responsible for the preparation of next week's meeting, but on-site coordination may require someone who is more familiar with the process." **2. Time buffer technique** -Delayed response: "I need to verify a few data before I can give you an accurate answer" (Use time to think about countermeasures) -Segmented commitment: "Can I complete the first stage this month and wait for the evaluation results before proceeding with the follow-up?" " **3. Non-confrontational communication formula** -Facts + feelings + needs: "Recently, three projects (facts) have been promoted at the same time, and we are worried that distracting energy will affect the quality (feelings). Can we re-evaluate our priorities? (Demand)" -Recognition + turning point: "This proposal is very valuable, but considering the current resources, maybe we can. . . " **4. Create a win-win situation** -Turn responsibility into opportunity: "I have noticed that there is room for optimization of the system process. If you give me two weeks of research, you can propose an efficiency improvement plan." -Take the initiative to transfer part of the responsibility: "I can be responsible for training new people to take over this part of the work" **5. Preventive boundary management** -Set expectations in advance: "I need to focus on XX projects in the next quarter, and regular transactions may be slow to respond." -Establish a professional image: "I am better at background analysis, front-end coordination may not be my best contribution area" **Bottom line to pay attention to：** -Avoid making up excuses (need to keep lying) - Do not prevaricate core obligations (may affect professional reputation) -Maintain the sincerity of remedial measures ("This time I am really unprepared, I will next time. . . "） Psychological research has found that people's acceptance of the "boundaries of honesty ability" is higher than imagined. Harvard Business School experiments have shown that moderate expression of limitations will increase professional credibility (provided that it shows a willingness to improve). It is recommended to use small-cost responsibilities for communication exercises first, and gradually establish a coping model that not only maintains oneself but also maintains a relationship. True responsibility management is not to escape, but to allocate energy wisely.
