I saw a similar article about workplace conversations that suggested a similar track. The gist was to make a request for help instead of a demand, while also being frank about what is happening and that there is a need for change. I can appreciate the idea of presenting it in a collaborative way. Instead of "I am telling you to do this because you made a mistake and I know better" you can present it as "I can understand the issue, and we can work as a team to come up with a solution that works for everyone."
