Minding Your Manners at Meetings

| ✓ | Show up on time. |
| ✓ | Let the most senior people meet first; then let the others meet by rank order. |
| ✓ | Allow the Chinese host to guide you to the proper seat. |
| ✓ | Be polite and enjoy a few sips of Chinese tea. |
| ✓ | Don’t get down to business right away — make some small talk to break the ice. |
| ✓ | Let the big shots do the talking. Don’t let your junior people jump into the business conversation unless they’re asked to. |
