It’s hard not coming to the defense of your genious project! But, that also acknowledges that my ego forgot to give credit to the One who inspired the idea in the first place!

Esp. #5. #1 is key to keeping the rest in check. That’s the hard part, but if I can do it, I’m able to be more at peace.

I have had a blogpost on this exact topic in head for several months but have held back writing it b/c the guilty would know who they are if they read my post and my coworkers would know exactly who I’m talking about. I have some awesome examples of crazy lately that would be quite entertaining.

The intro to the post in my head goes like this: His 6′5″ tall frame towered over me in a room full of colleagues as he pounded his fist on the conference table and bellowed, “I will die on a hill before you will print our brochure without the tagline on the cover.” I would then reference the colleague who let me know that if I put a human being on the cover of her brochure, I should not print very many because she would not use it. I love it!

I’m now going to go log out and post this anonymously for fear of being found outing my colleagues.

Just in case anyone ever disagrees with me…

Some were constructive where everyone held nothing back, were honest, and left there closer than ever. On the other hand, I’ve been in the middle of needless shouting matches.

I’m glad you gave some insight into getting the former and not the latter:)

If someone doesnt like my idea — or me — I honestly evaluate if there is some truth in their opinion.

I may not agree with the entire criticism, but there is always something I can take away from it.

To do this still requires us to calm our minds and demeanor in order to have the presence of spirit to ask these questions, take a humble posture and actually show reflective attitude. But what a way to diffuse the aggression.
