“Make Your Reports Like That”
We’re going to report on what we’ve been doing in the wide world, five minutes per person. Let’s keep our motivation for seeing that everything goes right—rather than impressing people, or apologizing for our difficulties, or doing any of the other things that waste our time when we try to communicate. Please, in your report, assume that you are a marvelous, powerful person, who has done a brilliant job, and that part of what you’ve done is crucial for other people to hear about and understand. Make your reports like that, will you?
