停止霸佔會議中的談話

當你主持一個會議時，很有吸引力。畢竟，你把每個人都召集到一起，對吧？但沒有人會想去參加一個只有獨白的會議。，如果你獨佔會議時間，你不可能得到你所需要的。

為了讓自己保持冷靜，試試三種戰術。

1. 做筆記並堅持下去。給自己一個時間限制，把你要說的話濃縮成那麼多時間。
2. 提前發送議程。告訴那些你尊重的人你希望他們會說話，然後在會上拜訪他們。
3. 在房間裏到處走動，和每個人都有交談的機會。有些人會通過，但至少他們有機會——不必打斷你的話。

Stop Dominating the Conversation in Your Meetings

When you’re leading a meeting, it’s tempting to hold the floor. After all, you called everyone together, right? But no one wants to go to a meeting where one person talks the whole time, and you’re unlikely to get what you need from the group if you’re delivering a monologue.

To keep yourself in check, try three tactics.

1. Make notes and stick to them. Give yourself a time limit, and condense what you have to say into that amount of time.
2. Send the agenda around in advance. Tell people whose opinions you respect that you are hoping they will speak up, and then call on them during the meeting.
3. Go around the room and everyone has an opportunity to talk. Some people will pass, but at least they were given the chance — and didn’t have to interrupt you to get a word in.
