Catch them by surprise on monday by deploying a hidden talent that they had no idea was a part of your skill set. You can give coworkers or your boss a further pleasant shock by selflessly pitching in with the latest team effort on tuesday or wednesday (and not complaining about it). And the next time you ask for help, it'll be hard for them to refuse. If you're impatient for progress at the end of the workweek, consider whether the quickest route to it might be to compromise. This weekend, play it safe, in business at least.
