19、hat it was the end of a wonderful holiday; it was not just that he invariably suffered badly from jet lag; it was that Monday mornings always began with a team meeting and, over the months, he had grown to hate them. Martin was aware that colleagues approached these meetings with hidden agendas; the
20、y indulged(纵容) gameplaying; and he knew that people were not being honest and open. The meetings themselves were bad enoughthere was all the moaning afterwards at the meeting like “I could have improved on that idea, but I wasnt going to say”.

In truth, he felt rather proud of his_new

The gameplaying started to fall away; people started to speak more directly; views became better understood; the atmosphere became more open and trus
26、ting. The meeting ended. As people left the room, Martin found that he could still hear what they were thinking. “That was the best meeting weve ever had.” “All meetings should be like that.” “In future, Im going to say what I think”.
