Everyone who is about to get promoted to a higher role that requires them to manage people, should sit in a meeting and demonstrate that they can:

• Shut up.
• Facilitate the discussion.
• Follow up to whatever gets decided.

If they talk too much, if they interrupt others, if they ignore the person who is silent, if they don’t ask open questions and listen, if they go back to the same topics every other meeting.

They are not fit for the role.
