Key Points

Leaders must be advocates for their team.

Charming a superior is typically only good for short-term gains, whereas advocating for your team will lay a foundation for future success.

Research people you’re nervous about meeting, and the more you learn, the more you’ll begin to see they’re just normal people.

If you’re running a meeting, people want you to set the agenda and control the flow.

When there is a power distance, do whatever you can to make the distance feel smaller.

Research the person you’re going to meet with and find something you have in common. This is a way to reach out to them and make you stand out.
