[QUOTE="Yorksman, post: 658489, member: 55568"] People like the security of a group and feel emboldened by it. You may have to publically clip someone's wings, eg by telling them that unless they have something positive to contribute, to leave the room. The others usually fall into line because none of them will want to be singled out. Spend a bit of time working out who to target and how to do it and you'll come accross as more self assured. Practice if you have to. Even Churchill spent hours in front of a mirror rehearsing. Have a google for some witty put downs, eg: [I]My manager Sally, is from England and has pale, pale, pale white skin; not unlike a porcelain doll. She told me this story. Upon meeting a work colleague's husband (Lou) for the first time, Lou said to Sally, 'So Sal, when are you going to get a tan?'. Appalled, Sally cut him down with 'When you grow hair'. The fat, bald and unfunny Lou didn't say a word for the rest of the encounter. [/I] Karen Brady who is on the Apprentice manages a football team and of course came in for a lot of rigging from the players. One who got a bit bold on the team's bus said something about having to put up with a woman so she publically said that he wouldn't have to anymore because she had decided to sell him.[I][/I] [/QUOTE]
