[quote=Anonymous]1. Every time you feel the urge to speak, count to 5 first. Use the time to think about whether the thing you're going to say is truly necessary and advances your boss's goals. Consider that you may have less information than your boss does. 2. Then, one of the following: - Say nothing. - If a question was asked and there's a silence, ask, "[Boss], do you want me to speak to that?" - If there's no silence but you really think something is being overlooked, pass your boss a note. For example, "Should we mention [thing]?" 3. If you said nothing, take the opportunity later to say, "[Boss], I thought about mentioning [thing] in our meeting but wasn't sure I should. What do you think?" It can be casual, or you can explicitly say to your boss that talking less in meetings is something you're working on and you'd appreciate feedback. Good luck to you. I'm an interrupter -- I'm working on it! -- so I get it.[/quote]
