Pissed off a managing partner, what to do? Here is what happened:
- talked about a way forward, agreed on next steps (not clearly enough)
- I did the wrong next steps given we had apparently different understandings (realised it afterwards; no severe risks resulted)
- now he accuses me that I purposely misunderstood him and that I acted this way to gain personal benefits of it (wtf)
- doesnt believe me that it was due to failed alignmemt - insists that I am lying

How to deal with that?

Sounds like the person is just insecure and looking to pawn off some of that insecurity to a Senior. Seniors (and everyone for that matter) are expected to make mistakes from time to time. It’s OK. Sounds like you just need to clear the air with this person, but then distance yourself from them going forward.

Something similar happened to a co-worker of mine. I think it's better though after they talked it out and I think we explained to my managing director he's acting a little selfish. It did take a year to get in a good space though.
