When managing stakeholders and leadership, a categorical "no" often leads to frustrating arguments and power plays. I've learned to instead say "not yet", "what about <risk or alternative>", "only if <necessary tradeoff>", and "is this higher priority than". How do you negotiate?

In ep1 of “Inside Job”, the president is too dumb to control, so the Deep State replaces him w/ a robot that goes crazy & diverts the US economy to an “Americube” that would keep exceptionalism in and foreign influence out. I think about this show a lot lately.
