> Over time, you’ll develop an almost sixth sense for when an intervention is needed. You’ll become that person who can deftly guide conversations back on track when they’re derailing. > Overuse: If you’re constantly meta-commenting on the conversation, it can become distracting and annoying. Use this technique judiciously. Good point, glad it has the caution in there, or you'll quickly become that one person everyone knows read "that one HN post" and keeps doing that "one trick" every meeting. You see this with new leaders often, they read some book or the "top 10 leadership power poses and gestures" blog and start doing them. Except, it doesn't look natural and just seems cringy. They think it's a cool trick to mesmerize their audience, while everyone else is rolling their eyes literally or figuratively.
