Stop treating others the way you want to be treated.
🚫 Stop behaving in meetings how you think you should behave.
🚫 Stop talking to people in a way that you think is polite.
🚫 Stop communicating with people how you’d like them to communicate with you.
Instead…
✅ Start treating others the way they want to be treated.
This means…
🤔 Don’t go into gratuitous detail if they’re more of a big-picture thinker.
🤔 Don’t ask how their weekend was if they prefer to get down to business.
🤔 Don’t hurry them along if they prefer to mull things over.
In short, forget about how you want people to communicate with you. Put yourself into other people’s shoes and communicate in a way that works for them.
