Decide Whether to Have a Difficult Conversation Now or Wait

Timing difficult conversations is genuinely difficult because the hesitation is not always about the wrong time: sometimes it is about the conversation itself. Waiting has real costs and so does going in before you are ready. This maps the costs of both options and tells you whether the hesitation is about timing or about something else worth addressing first.
