We've all sat in meetings where people talk past each other or go through the motions, and others that galvanise a team and remind everyone why they first took the job. We've been to weddings that were deeply moving and others that were run-of-the-mill and simply faded away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhy do some moments take off and others fizzle?
