每日原则：让对话善始善终

讨论的主要目的是完成对话，达成共识，最终做出决定或采取行动。如果讨论半途而废，就无异于浪费时间。在交流想法时，很重要的一点是要进行总结，以结束讨论。如果达成一致，应当明确指出；如果没有，也应当说明。如果会议决定采取进一步行动，要将行动列入清单，将任务分配下去，并规定截止日期。记下你的结论、可行的想法和任务清单，以此作为下一步进展的对照基础。为了确保做到这一点，指定专人负责会议记录和督办实施。  

如果你仍然不赞成也没理由生气。人们可以在相处融洽的同时，依然对某些事情保持异议，你们不必对所有事都意见完全一致。

The main purpose of discussion is to achieve completion and get in sync, which leads to decisions and/or actions. Conversations that fail to reach completion are a waste of time. When there is an exchange of ideas, it is important to end it by stating the conclusions. If there is agreement, say it; if not, say that. Where further action has been decided, get those tasks on a to-do list, assign people to do them, and specify due dates. Write down your conclusions, working theories, and to-do’s in places that will lead to their being used as foundations for continued progress. To make sure this happens, assign someone to make sure notes are taken and follow-through occurs. 

There is no reason to get angry because you still disagree. People can have a wonderful relationship and disagree about some things; you don’t have to agree on everything.
