Knowing what you want helps you frame and steer the conversation. This might sound manipulative, but it isn’t if you do not intend to be manipulative. You probably have a set of logical points you want to outline sequentially in order to set up what you want to happen.

知道自己所需要的能够帮助你架构和指引本次的交谈的东西。也许这听起来有点操控性质，但如果你并不是故意想被操控那就不会有这个问题了。你可能会有一些根据逻辑而设定，想要有序地表明出来的要点，以便完成你的目标。

Keep an Open Mind

保持开放的心态

You may go into the conversation knowing exactly what you want to happen during and after the conversation, but keep an open mind. By virtue of his or her organizational position, your boss may have insight into your issue you do not possess. The ideas you went into the conversation with may be rendered moot or ineffective by new information your boss brings to the conversation.

你也有可能参与一次从头到尾完全了解自己所想的交谈，但请保持开放的心态。由于老板的所在的组织位置，他会对你没提出的问题有些个人的想法。而在交谈中你所传达的信息将有可能被解读为与老板所提出的新观点毫无意义或意义不大。

Be open to solutions, alternatives and compromises. The ideas your boss brings to the table may be much better than yours.
