Tip no 8: They think its a great idea but do they realise it will mean you can’t also do the great idea they had last week?

One way to scupper a manager’s plans for more work for you, Raj advises us, is to demonstrate that this will mean their other pet project will get impeded by this new project. People don’t like it and will fight you, when you say no but are pulled up short when the sacrifice that will have to made is on their part.

Put the ball back in their court.
