I have to do some political jiu-jitsu again and as much as the drink is because I just want a drink, I also think it’s helpful in making me look a bit like a harmless dilettante.
@Holberg My dad used to do a version of this based on "I'm just a simple guy from a small market out West" and yeah, same disarming effect, same great results.
@AdaraAstin Always for good haha. This was about someone who regularly treats other board members very badly indeed. (I won’t tolerate it so she knows it won’t work on me and leaves me alone. But still bullies others.) I was proposing a code of conduct to formalize our standard of behavior when interacting with each other and anyone else in the organization. I used an example I had observed outside the board. And in the process got my most enthusiastic support from the problematic board member.
