What It Means to Say "No."

Not long ago a surly commenter took issue with my recommendation that business people learn to honestly say 'no' to their customers.  (It looks like I lost those comments in the migration, though.) It is part of standard customer and project management to understand this, but so few people master it and when I say "say 'no' " I don't mean literally 'no' but I do mean refusing to meet goals that you or your business simply cannot meet.

Software nerd has written about a real world situation he was in where a good project manager said no to a customer and the project ended in success.

That's what I'm talkin' 'bout!

Hat tip to Noodlefood!

1 You totally should have imported the comments for that post.  Now, when I direct people to it, they don't get the whole show.

2 Yeah... I thought Pixy got all the comments, but I guess some of them got by him.  Maybe I'll write him a note about it...
