When everyone wants something different and you get the blame

Engineering wants one thing, sales wants the opposite, and the CEO wants both by Friday. I'm stuck in the middle trying to make everyone happy with a plan that can't possibly do it all. And when we come up short, somehow I'm the name that gets pointed at, even though I never had the power to give any of them what they wanted.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Everyone wants something different from you, and you get blamed when it can't all happen.

If this sounds familiar, the Library can help you find the bigger picture.
