Content: Important information is missing. Often when someone makes a decision that doesn't make sense, it's because they lack key information. It doesn't make sense to us, because we know that information, and assume they do too. People may not have that information because they didn't know it was available, did not understand its importance, or don't have the experience or competence to know to ask for that information. Solution: Ask if they know about the important information. If they didn't know, provide them with the information in a way that allows them to save face and repair the situation if possible. If they did already know, ask how their decision takes the information into account. 4. They had the information, but don't agree that the information is important.
