“Hi, how are you? Good weekend?”
“Yea.. not too bad, how was yours?”
“It was alright, thanks”.
“Right… so… shall we start?”
This is a dysfunctional communication pattern.
Chances are that you didn’t really want to know the answer.
Chances are that they didn’t really care about your response.
Most of your daily interaction with people is scripted in such ways.
Do you really think that what preceded “So… shall we start?” is less important for your career, promotion, bonus, fulfilment, happiness and all the rest you so much desire?
You can get straight into business or … you can break the pattern, lead and win.
Loving you, Angelos
