The secret for success concerning the handling of needs to say no does not only lie in clear definitions but in a confident self-understanding as advisor. Michaela van Bebber and I talk about why it is so hard to say no and how important it is to get a consequent backing (other than the soccer world championship referee being overruled by Infantino after a call from Trump).
