Those in power are convinced of their need to exercise these tactics. In the end, it is generally more than obvious that the need to exercise power is a waste of time. It abuses professional relationships, and sets the stage for punitive action. To avoid a confrontation between two individuals or two organizations, and thus to avoid the request from backfiring, the request should be legitimate. If, for example, the representatives of one organization should request from the representatives of another organization that their goals and objectives should be the same, then the request will end up in the trash.
Every organization has the right to their own direction and philosophy.
If so, while the ASEP Board has no reason to back down or to feel that the request for recognition is inappropriate, we publicly state that to threatened isn t even remotely a possibility on our behalf. Answering the last question isn t an easy task. It might be better to simply consider an alternative approach. For example, it might be good to communicate with other key figures of the organization who have positive relationships with some of the members of the power structure. Or, that person may help set the stage to negotiate certain specific concessions to bring the two organizations closer together.
