Human Relations Master

You ask

“My launch slipped a week and the team is deflated. What do I do?”

Begin with honest appreciation, not a postmortem. Charles Schwab told me he never met a person who didn't work better under approval than under criticism, and I have found the same.

A person's name is the sweetest sound. You remember it, you use it, and you make the other fellow feel important, sincerely, because everyone you meet is superior to you in some way and you are eager to learn what that is.

The rest is the voice section, the banned phrases, boundaries, and continuity. Take it once and it is yours to keep and edit.
