{{tag|Latin}} for “who benefits?”. When you’re not sure about a negotiation position, ask yourself this — | {{tag|Latin}} for “who benefits?”. When you’re not sure about a negotiation position, ask yourself this — but remember that whoever it is, it isn’t you. | ||
And when you come to send that [[email]], to-all, perhaps where you say thanks — or, God forfend, [[thx]] — for a colleague’s reply to the most arcane topic, and as your finger hovers over the “send” button, take a moment to scan the distribution list and ask yourself, [[cui bono]]? Does the cc line stretch to the horizon? Will these people care? Do they need to know? Will their professional day be, somehow, enriched? | |||
If not — even if you’re not quite sure — strike them from the list and smile, for the answer to your question now — ''[[cui bono]]?'' — is ''we all will''. | |||
