The Calendar Says No

The situation

Your CTO blocked Thursday morning to finish the architecture doc the whole roadmap depends on. By Wednesday afternoon, six people have tried to break into it: a 'five-minute' sync, an interview panel down a body, a vendor demo someone double-booked, and a VP who 'just needs ten minutes.' Each is reasonable. Together they'd erase the only focus block he has this week. Hold the line — and keep everyone liking you.
