Are you doing everything you can to make a project a success? The more you put into it, the more you gain in the end. Remember that half measures yield half-baked results.
If you’re in for a penny then it stands to reason that the pound will follow. Avoid getting hooked all together and keep on walking.
You didn’t create the either/or dilemma so you don’t have to solve it. Just hand the mess back to the person responsible.
A rival can’t harm you if you’re the picture of cooperation. Agree to what s/he says, but stop short of committing to anything.
A scathing remark leaves you burning, but before responding in kind, ask yourself if you deserve it. You may have been ignoring signals to back off.
Continue coaching from the sidelines and you’ll wind up taking over. Keep mum for a while or people will never figure out the answers for themselves.
