Acting without tact and diplomacy is probably hurting your end goal. You want to build allies in a common cause rather than alienate people that can help.

This is ridiculously good advice for so many situations. And in almost all of them, the person won't listen and will have claim some other reason that their behavior is warranted, no matter how ineffectual it ends up being in the end.

It's so depressing.
