Objectivity

I've attended so many beautiful weddings and I've always been emotionally invested. It was great fun to watch the spectacular Royal Wedding with no personal attachment to the bride or groom.  I was able to really listen objectively to the wedding vows. 

We don't always consider the emotional investment our colleagues may have in business proposals. Their emotion may challenge their objectivity in truly listening to what others are saying and fairly weighing alternatives.  The higher the stakes, the more careful we must be to include objective parties in evaluating business options.
