Staying On Top, Down Under

Martin Booth, general manager of College Printing and Graphic Design at Box Hill Institute in Melbourne, discussed how to get the best results out of the meetings you attend. He pointed out that most people go into meetings with a position in mind and then they try to defend it, using their power and control to push their point of view. This does not usually result in the best solution. Instead of meetings, participants should hold dialogs to discuss all options objectively.
