Opinion Compromise

They (and probably you) have to be persuaded and helped to feel comfortable about the outcome that is eventually agreed. | The reason is that achieving agreement requires people to accept the reality of views different from their own and to accept change or compromise. | It is not just a matter of putting forward a set of facts and expecting the other person immediately to accept the logic of the exposition. | In general, there is a tendency to underestimate how long it takes to discuss and resolve an issue on which two people initially have different views. | People need time to make this adjustment in attitude and react badly to any attempt to rush them into an agreement.
