Colleagues asking advice isn’t new. What’s surprising is competitors are asking too. Your wisdom and sagacity transcends borders.
That farfetched lead looks like it’s going somewhere. Don’t let conventional wisdom discourage you from exploring this exciting prospect.
People aren’t coming through for you as expected, but were you clear about what you wanted? It doesn’t hurt to ask again – and this time nicely.
You’re not betraying anyone by going outside the usual channels to get what you want. You may even excite interest.
That loophole you’ve been jealously guarding could wind up being more trouble than it’s worth. Is it still necessary? If not, close it.
You don’t see why you should have to give away something for free, but do it. What doesn’t compute on paper makes sense in goodwill.
