Several years ago I was having a one-on-one conversation with a leader in an oil and gas company. He seemed discouraged and I asked him what was going on. He said, “A few weeks ago I was invited to go to a meeting with our new CEO to present a proposal. I had frequent conversations with my boss about the proposal and I knew my boss was in full agreement.
