Circumstances push you to paint on a broader canvas. Don’t worry about what works or not. There’s no such thing as a wrong answer now.
In your eagerness to help out, you could be inadvertently creating more work for associates. The best way to prove your value is to stick to what’s asked for.
Why does someone keep hesitating? Maybe s/he is trying to tell you something? Back off till you know what’s up.
Before blaming others for forcing your hand, take a moment to consider how cooperative you’ve been lately. You may have pushed them to it.
The atmosphere is tense, but ignore it. Sometimes it’s best to let people work out differences for themselves.
There will always be extenuating circumstances. Your task, however, is to determine if they explain or camouflage the truth.
