It's nice to know that there are others who experience similar career struggles. I feel like these struggles generally fit me, however, I will say that over time I have seen the different results that diplomacy and compassion for others gets vs. blunt honesty. Diplomacy/compassion work more effectively in most situations over the long run, unless I happen to be in a room full of INTJs. So even though my first impulse is to put all the facts out in front of everyone, I keep them to myself until I can translate judgments about the facts into suggested common needs.
