The SNIPER

"Ask for relevancy again "

YOU: Rickles, I am not clear how my sense of humor or emotional state has anything to do with new marketing opportunities? (Give the Sniper your best innocent look.)

(Rickles's former ally, sitting next to him, is now looking away as if he never even heard of this disruptive Rickles character before. Other people at the meeting are smiling. The marketing director glares at Rickles and says, "It has nothing to do with it! Let's get back on track. I want to hear your presentation."

YOU: As I was saying .....

R&R: Well done and congratulations ! You have successfully handled the sniper.

Make sure you go back to try the "stop, look, and backtrack" strategy if you haven't
