Believe it or not even faultfinders want to support you. Adopt a big tent approach and you’ll win unflagging support.
People see you as being more able-bodied than you take credit for. Perhaps you should follow their lead? You may learn some new things about yourself.
You insist a colleague take responsibility for his/her actions. But what about your own complicity? Cop to it. Afterwards this person will follow suit.
Sometimes first impressions should give way to second or even third ones. Revisit an assumption that no longer holds true. You’ll be happy to see you misjudged.
You see three alternatives for every answer, but don’t let on. Stakes are high and people need direction.
You may have overextended your reach. If so, it’s better to back down now. You can always try again later when things are more accessible.
