Or how relying on superlative communication skills can lead to your downfall (or your teams')
I once got that feedback from a report: you can be quite convincing at first. (I didn't know how to interpret that really)
It was primarily driven by the fact that the person hadn't had a chance to think through things.
Therefore I didn't allow for a good debate.
So I decided to put some time between the initial argument and the discussion and ultimately a decision.
One way to do this to in our 1-1s, I added a topic "Is there anything from our last discussion we need to revisit?"
That's a great idea!
