Build better business relationships: Connect rather than protect
Many years ago I finished a first draft of a novel. I'm embarrassed to admit how long I've been carting that draft around, sitting down now and then to re-work some of the rough spots.
I've dragged it to various writers' groups and asked family members to read the thing and give me feedback—which they've done with grace and honesty.

Meeting with the leader: How to make a favorable impression
Meeting with a company president or CEO is unlike other meetings. The degree to which you prepare and conduct yourself will determine if you make a good impression, or are viewed as a time waster (sorry, I know that's harsh, but it's true!).
Nothing is more valuable to a CEO than time. Most have 12+ hour days filled with back-to-back meetings, presentations, negotiations, meet and greet events, board meetings, and educational opportunities. Time is measured in minutes, not hours.
Discipline is infused in everything they say or do. It's how they handle many horizontal priorities without becoming overwhelmed.
Ultimately, they are paid to make four to five BIG decisions each year, which results in market share and/or profitability gains, or job loss(es).
They speak the language of strategy and metrics, and have a dashboard that tracks daily/monthly/quarterly/annual results.
