OK, what does that mean?

Dictionary meaning says, “To neither agree nor disagree but to be neutral in the middle, without a view.

Having recently undertaken a training course in communication skills, we undertook a quick tick box study in a multi choice questionnaire. The results any under 7 scored resulted in those areas requiring attention in your own personal skills!

As you have probably guessed my lowest score was for that of neutrality. So me, being me, got the dictionary out as soon as I got home.  Copying onto a piece of paper in upper case style and reading deeply, trying to absorb the meaning. I plug the kettle in and wait until I have a hot coffee to allow myself to concentrate. With many thoughts running through my brain waves, I continue to pour more coffee, as by now I’m most confused and beginning to argue with myself.

I decided that my explanation for the meaning of neutrality had to be based on a thought of mine.  I’m in a meeting putting my views across, my views or that of others for whom I speak. How is it possible to be neutral, I want results? So that means others have to agree with me, does it not?

I may be neutral in an environment where the subject is not of paramount importance to me, or others for whom I stand. Such as the colour to paint the toilet area! But never fear, there will be another for whom this is not a neutral affair and the topic will have to be discussed and a solution found.
