Political Tactics

Most bosses have a string of political tactics to get them through the day. When they are dealing with objecting staff members they also have any convenient means to use for their purpose.
One of these is sidestepping the issue. That is best done by hitting on a particular aspect of the issue where their arguement is strong and concentrating on that ignoring the other, more important aspects.
Another way is when you have a stronger voice and can argue with more venom.
I just finished telling my boss he should be in parliament since Trinidad is famous for its bull-crapping politicians.
He won the day mostly because I was too tired and too fed-up to argue at length.
The fact that I was not impressed with his words makes no difference.
He won and left satisfied.
I lost and became more disgusted.
