You’re right and colleagues are wrong, so stick to your guns. The fact that you won’t yield the field gives them moment for pause.
Are you forcing yourself to accept something you don’t want? The answer is yes if you feel out of sorts. Heed your gut.
You may be right about what lies beneath the surface, but people don’t always express what they feel. Respect the face they choose to show today.
Don’t let a business matter get personal. That’s why you’ve got a written agreement in place. Simply refer to the pertinent clause or rider.
Don’t let a rival know that s/he got under your skin. The best way to win this contest of wills is to look like you aren’t competing.
Showing you’re as fallible as anyone else works to your advantage today. It makes you more human. Cop to a mistake – even if you have to make it up.
