[Gen.Blather]

A cagy manager told me a trick and it always works. Sit down with the other side and talk until THEY have your idea. Once it’s theirs, you don’t have to deal with resistance. He said the resistance comes from the ego associated with Not Invented Here. (NIH.)

I work with people too smart to fall for the trick, but with proportionately bigger egos.
