Most of the problems we face with people are because we
don’t understand each other. A guiding
principle in conducting a business meeting is to presume good will.This means that, even though I may disagree

that needs to be done. It isn’t “I’m
right, you’re wrong”, it’s that we have different ways to help each other. Can I offer you my way? Can I listen to your way?
