**Know the role you're playing**:
Before you enter any meeting, Ek suggests asking yourself: "What role am I playing?" As the CEO of Spotify, sometimes he's the approver while other times he's a thoughtful participant.
He believes a productive meeting consists of three elements:
1) __the desired outcome of the meeting is clear ahead of time;__
2) the various options are clear, ideally ahead of time; and
3) the roles of the participants are crystal clear.
Be intentional about how you're spending your time as a leader.

“Never admire quietly. If I admire something about someone, I tell them. It's important we give people their flowers while they are still here.”
