Ease up because someone agreeing to most but not all your terms is a good thing. You don’t want this person reneging once you’re out of sight.
Before rolling your eyes at yet another problem, remember that crises always show off your flattering side.
Keep waving that banner because it looks like colleagues are finally beginning to see that combining forces results in overall progress.
A step forward for you is a step back for a rival. It’s nothing you need be concerned with now, but keep close tabs.
Others aren’t as quick to face facts as you. They need to digest what’s going down. Have a heart and pick up the reality check this time.
Both options look unappealing, so choose the lesser of two evils. The end result could be a blessing in disguise.
