Each participant at the job coaching space has two people assigned to them. A primary coach and a secondary coach.

They were about to assign a new secondary coach but I influenced that decision by talking to two people separately and then they talked together separately.

Per the same recipe, I'm trying to influence my role in the sound design team and how it's organised by contacting the project manager directly. It doesn't hurt to try. It's not like they can fire me.

I'm not exactly a fan of these tactics, as I prefer to discuss things openly, but social psychology doesn't permit that. The people whose role it is to set the agenda can't be seen like that.

Nobody will tell you that you can do this. It does take some guts, and some may say it's wrong. But take the US president. This is exactly how he works. He talks to everyone, one by one, to create consensus.

If I really want to play that game, I may have to step up my efforts and talk to every single member of the group and win them over, one by one.

I think what I'm describing here is politics.
