Meetings can be completely sidelined in the first 30 seconds.
The deal is this: The first speaker sets the tone for the rest of the conversation, anchoring the entire conversation.
After the first speaker sets the tone, the second speaker builds a thread from that first turn, whether they agree with the first speaker or oppose them. Before you know it, the rest of the conversation is a response to that first comment.
We can call this conversational cascade “first speaker syndrome.”
