| Andrew, I have been in this project for a long time. This process has been working for us for years. I don’t agree that we change it. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
| | |
| We have a lot to accomplish and I want to hold the meeting to our scheduled 90 minutes. We can open the discussion later once I am done with the presentation. Is that ok with you?... | |

| Andrew, I have done many projects like this and I can say I am the only one who can do that certain piece in that project seamlessly. | |
| | |

| I know you've worked on projects like this before. I requested some notes from your lead based on past projects and I'd like to discuss your learnings that you can share to me next week. | |

| | |

| You seem to be unhappy with how things are going. Would you want to lead the brainstorming session to formulate the action plan? | |
