A focused, calculated approach is best at the beginning of the week. You'll learn more by listening and reading between the lines than you will by tipping your hand. And you can take the intelligence you're gathering to an even deeper level around wednesday when several action steps become crystal clear. A project you start now can be a real resume builder. At the end of the workweek, it's time to insist that everyone involved get their real agendas out on the table. Only then can both group and individual goals be set and eventually met.
