Today’s advice for you corporate climbers is short and sweet. Be a bulldozer with ballerina shoes. If you KNOW you are right, you KNOW your decision is best for your company (and yourself) then you can’t accept a “no” right? Problem is that egos, agendas, and personalities can sometimes cloud a company’s decision making ability. And as a good get-along-guy or get-along-girl (which is what you need to be to get anything done in executive management) you must understand how important it is to keep people happy… or better yet how to NOT piss people off. Sometimes you need to dance.
Sometimes it’s tough when your decisions face opposition. But when your decision is right, you need to push forward. There IS no “no”. Become a bulldozer with ballerina shoes. Dance around what you can, roll over if you have to, but push forward no matter what stands in your way.

It sounds like a cool slogan. I like it but to push forward no matter what stands in my way…yikes

Chris, this is another solid post — and reminds me of one I threw up online two days ago: http://www.ericlander.com/123.html
I know it’s a rant and a half, but being highly accomplished and actively employed by a Fortune 250… It’s a tough time seeing no signs or opportunities for upward movement.
Cheers on keeping a healthy perspective on those sorts of battles.
