How to be a confident leader
Establish ground rules beforehand to avoid distractions and disagreements.
Eg:
• Phones on/off
• No interrupting
• Disagree with ideas, not people
• What is said in the room stays in the room
• Don’t take it personally if the conversation is redirected
One of the few newsletters I look forward to.
