Saboteurs



They don't agree with the facts or the goals or the necessity for change. They pretend to cooperate but instead covertly throw obstacle after obstacle in your path. Committees and delay are their friends. Papers get "lost." Meetings are delayed. Deadlines are subverted.

These people cannot be convinced by eloquence and evidence. They yawn at urgency.

What you regard as success, they regard as failure. In most cases, they sincerely believe that their position is best.

Their conduct would be less objectionable if they clearly identified themselves as opponents but they claim to be on your team. 

Only they're not.

Know this well: You will not win them over
