The outcome of your next meeting is going to be dependent on the following much more than it will be on your communication and argumentation skills.

• Whether you are usually the one who gives others work to do or the one who takes work away from other people’s shoulders.
• Whether you are usually the one who points fingers and assigns responsibilities or the one who brings others together to find a solution.
• Whether you are usually the one who gossips behind other people’s back or the one who stops a gossip the first time they hear it.
• Whether you are usually the one who does things at their own terms informing as little people as possible or the one who seeks involvement and promotes open communication.
• Whether you are usually the one who is close to any type of feedback or criticism or the one who appreciates other people’s input and improves based on that.
