What is the situation you are facing i.e. what leadership step have you tried to take that you have found yourself neutralised (i.e. marginalized, diverted, attacked, undesired outcome achieved)?
What are the technical and adaptive elements at play?
Who are the relevant stakeholders, including yourself?
What were their perspectives before your attempt to exercise leadership in the situation?
Were there any conflicts in perspective to begin with?
What resources did you have to impact the situation, either through a formal position of authority/decision-making power or informal authority?
How were you neutralized in your efforts?
Who were you disturbing? What were their perspectives and why might they have been resisting change?
What options did you see after being neutralised? Did you take any actions in response, and if so, what?
