TheStrategy of the Indirect Approach

The Strategy of the Indirect Approach involves delivering a message in a tactful, nuanced way rather than stating it outright. This method is often used in difficult or sensitive situations to avoid conflict or defensiveness. Instead of bluntly delivering bad news or criticism, it starts with a positive or neutral tone, gradually leading to the main point. By doing so, it helps maintain good relationships, encourages understanding, and reduces resistance, making it easier for the receiver to accept the message without feeling attacked or offended.
