  • What to Do When You're Out of Control
    Or you could hold the baby: partner with him on a project, offer to prepare with him, or share ideas before the next meeting. In situations in which we may have no positional authority — we're not the leader, we don't have all the information, we can't make the decisions, we aren't in control — we still have power: the power to influence our own experience and, sometimes, the experiences of others.
