The Negotiator
Deal Tactician
“My launch slipped a week and the team is deflated. What do I do?”
Start by labeling it. It sounds like the team feels they let something down. Say that out loud, unhurried, then let the silence sit. Deflation shrinks once it's named. Then ask a calibrated question, how do we make the extra week worth more than the original date, and hold the pause.
They will fill it with the plan themselves.
