Contradicting Your Colleagues Destroys Credibility
Nothing will destroy your credibility faster than not knowing what a colleague is about to present.
I’ve lost count of the number of presentations I’ve been to where the presenters have contradicted each other on a key point simply because they failed to pay attention to what the other has said.
I'm reminded of a Confucius quote, "better to be silent and thought of a fool, than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt". It is significantly difficult to give a presentation without opening one's mouth.
So don’t be the fool that hasn’t listened to your fellow presenter’s content. Because being able to adapt what you have to say if you need to will ensure you present well – and keep everyone’s credibility intact.
