Quite frankly, I don't "explain".

I will give a quick briefing of the situation based on the information that is known & I'll state my intentions. Then I'll state that I'm going to implement my plan and anyone who wishes, may come along.

Leadership is the key and if the more senior persons don't step up to the plate, then I will!
