You want to know what the bottom line is, but don’t want to spook an elusive quarry. Wait until you’re sure of prospects before you ask.
You’re willing to revisit the way you do things as long as others do the same. You’re not about to make changes for change’s sake.
You undergo a process of streamlining. You won’t like seeing whims evaporate, but they’ve been siphoning energy away from serious ambitions.
In an attempt to sidestep a conflict you could wind up playing into an adversary’s hands. You’re better off taking the bull by the horns.
Someone you support comes under fire. You don’t like to be on the losing team, but stay put. Opinions change and this person will prevail.
Let a client or supervisor complain. Terms were set long ago and this person will have to pay up. You’ve no reason to explain or apologize.
