Hurt feelings surface in a business disagreement. Profit may be bottom-line, but trust creates the lasting bonds. Address the emotional elephant in the room.
You gave it your best shot, but things have run their course. You’re both great people, but maybe not the best fit? Move on to new partners.
The truth is finally out. The good news is your future is secure. The not-so-good news is that you’ll be working twice as hard to keep it that way.
You can tell someone’s putting out feelers, but they need to do better than that. It’s this person’s turn to meet you more than halfway.
After telling people you weren’t into risky moves, you surprise everyone by pulling one anyway. What can you say? It’s a spur of the moment thing.
Bringing co-workers up to speed wastes too much time and energy. You’ll do better taking care of things yourself. You can fill them in along the way.
