Knowing how it works

Isn’t this easy? What if we…?

I know how this works. You guys can actually just…

And you probably have them on your team

It pays to know where they’re coming from

Optimism, proven experience, the outside, a place of precedence, a few books read, a new course taken, contributing for the sake of it, being the boss, and on… and on.

Some folks know how it works and they might be right (or wrong), but usually, the guys willing to make it work are the real shots.
