Editor's Note

Andrew Sobel's advice is intended for anyone of us at any time. However, we think it is particularly germane for people working on projects. That's because every time you tackle a new project, you will likely have to deal with new people and the atmosphere will be charged with emotion. So perhaps these suggestions will help you through the hot spots. Note, however, that Andrew describes dealing with a "customer", whereas on a project, you may wish to think in terms of dealing with a "stakeholder".
