You have nothing to gain by taking someone else’s side except that it’s the right thing to do. This, more than anything, lends moral authority to your case.
You may notice that certain situations aren’t working out, but don’t assume the worst. Half-measures are being dumped for more full throttle ones.
You prefer to be a behind-the-scenes influence, but the person you work with wants you spearheading a project. Make the switch. You may wind up liking it.
A tense situation boils over at work. Be on hand to help clean up the spill, but only after you turn down the heat first.
Be more selective about which battles you wage at work. You have the attention of higher-ups but could jeopardize it with too many lost causes.
Don’t pick up your toys and leave the sandbox in a snit because you didn’t go your way. Stick around and you’ll see that people aren’t as unreasonable as you think.
