How to Communicate So That Others Listen (Cheat Sheet)

A one-page cheat sheet covering the five rules of effective communication, the three types of conversation (informational, emotional, social) and twenty persuasive phrases you can use in real conversations.

Why I recommend it: Print it and keep it beside you for a week of meetings and interviews. The twenty phrases are the part people actually use.

How to Lead a Technical Discussion

A LeadDev article by Annie Vella on running a technical discussion you do not have all the answers for — framing the problem, drawing people out, and closing with a decision.

Why I recommend it: Free to read, though LeadDev asks for a free account after a few articles. The point that you can lead a discussion without being the expert is the one to take into your next meeting.
