Though you’d like to solve the problems of the world, the best thing you can do is listen. Others find your presence comforting.
Sometimes you get tired of seeing the other person’s point of view. Just stick to the way you see things today.
If you think you formed the wrong conclusion then run it by a trusted colleague or associate. If there’s a problem this person will point it out.
This is a tricky time. Let people exchange ideas and explore alternatives without pinning them down to specifics. Trust that a solid game will eventually emerge.
An opponent blinks and you wind up with the prize. That’s what comes of quick thinking and even faster action.
If you’re dissatisfied with the response, then take your complaint or request to the next level. You will eventually be heard.
