You have to lay down the law at times. Your job is to insist on a no smoke and mirrors budget proposal, enforce the corporate approach despite its unpopularity, and insist on a partnerships approach even where shared priorities don’t always match up perfectly. 

Sometimes your ask for forgiveness rather than permission approach gets you in trouble. Your use of those funds in a slightly unorthodox way. When you articulate the vision more clearly than cabinet wanted. Your habit of failing to clear a media statement with the communications team.
