I think another good piece of advice is to always watch for the person that everyone looks to when it comes time to make a decision in a meeting. Sometimes it’s not really evident who holds true power…but when all eyes switch to that one person…then you know you need to pay attention. Great post. I just found this blog and will be visiting often.

Hello Mike…what I was trying to say was that often times, I have noticed, that someone closer to customers or better said, someone with revenue responsiblity…should be listened to no matter what. For if you ignore this person, and they perceive you as being a hindrance to the attainment of sales…be prepared. I didnt say that very well.

I agree with Conrad–very good stuff.
Gl has more than a knack—he has the third eye vision
I have often made some of these very mistakes, and hindsight can be painful. (dis-ing the boss is like biting the hand that feeds)
Could the two bosses are owner and customer? or (Ying and yang) as I refer to them. I easily identify with the customer, as GL would say to my peril.
Then again I represent the lowly middle management
