* n school, I always liked being first because I was judged least harshly. People were more forgiving of error. But when I was last, my performance was compared against all the others. This bias also showed up in grading. [yeah, kids compare grades, even in elementary school and they see teacher-patterns the teachers miss]. Having been in business as well, it's true. Being first doesn't make you the most right, but it cuts you the most slack... and if it's not a series of prepared presentations, then the first speaker always sets the agenda upon which the others are based again. So in short, yes.

So.. I guess it depends on what's being presented, the nature of the meeting, how people are talking and whether it's brainstorming, equal presentations, etc. References Visible links 1. https://www.facebook.com/amanda.gold.737 2. https://www.facebook.com/groups/neoacademiaannex/permalink/635825003205967/?comment_id=635908233197644&offset=0&total_comments=4 3.
