That's where you slam against the table or run out of money.<BR/><BR/>My approach is to try to manage expectations to help your team see the world in a real way.<BR/><BR/>But as a leader, keep your focus on physical space and never, never drink your own kool-aid. Sometimes it's really hard to do. Been there, done that.Coordinator of the Printernet Projecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08225553436567452557noreply@blogger.com
