Perhaps you could use these few weeks off to ask some trusted advisors how to better communicate this point.
This is exactly the strategy I’ve decided to enact, e.g. talking to Anna. Thanks for being… gentle, I suppose? I’ve been getting a lot of flak lately, it’s nice to get some non-insulting advice sometimes. :)
(Somehow I completely failed to communicate the tentativeness of the ideas I was throwing around; in my head I was giving it about a 3% chance that I’d actually work on helping build an organization but I seem to have given off an impression of about 30%. I think this caused everyone’s brains to enter politics mode, which is not a good mode for brains to be in.)
