The frustrating part about yesterday was we had just met with the owner the week prior to talk about the communication problems we had experienced and had come to the conclusion that rash reactions were hurting our performance. In my view, the events of yesterday were yet another example of this problem.
Any chance that the owner is already aware of the situation and is making some allowances for what the "all or nothing" person tells them?

I once posted a little about internal dialogues and such here, but who really addresses that stuff is Steven Hayes (the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, guy) in books like Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life.
Thanks for this!
