You’re accused of stepping on people’s toes but sometimes that’s the only way to get things done. People are free to step back.
Don’t lose sleep over a dispute. That’s why you have an agreement in place. Simply refer to the pertinent clause or line in your contract and it’s settled.
Don’t let a rival know that s/he got under your skin. Be cool. The best way to win a contest is to look like you’re not competing.
Showing you’re as fallible as anyone else is a plus today. It makes you look human. Cop to a mistake – even if you have to make one up.
You’re convinced that someone’s holding out on you. Could it be that this person just feels intimidated? Lighten up and s/he will be more forthcoming.
Others are being demanding and you have no choice but to accommodate them. It’s best to grin and bear it.
