The problem is not the bullshitters. They are usually a sign of deeper problems that no one more competent wants to deal with. Does Bill Gates want to be President? Nope. What a hassle, too busy, other interests etc etc etc. The higher up y

Ask the CEO why you weren't consulted. There is no need to get confrontational and bring up all this other stuff. It will just distract and take focus away from the answer to that question. You have to choose whether you want to play t

You are right about damage it can do. But it also does good. Newton/Maxwell/Faraday were part of very interesting networks. Their results could have easily come out of Italy, France, India or China if better networks existed there

Agree. Also more than human nature, it's a highly competitive world. If a manager in the org, is producing results using a heavy handed approach, you can be sure your boss is going to be knocking on your door to have a little chat abou

It takes time. It's only after you have a few big unrecoverable screwups in life, will some of this stuff make more sense. You are better off being aware and not understanding its value, than not being aware at all of NVC. Once you hit
