One thing that I would like senior colleagues to avoid is the tendency to claim something can't be done or is impossible. Sometimes, a colleague would claim something can't be accomplished but when I do accomplish it, it can create tension and give the impression that I'm undermining them. I would prefer if senior leaders instead enumerate the reasons why it can't be done and avoid dealing with absolutes. Often, it requires research into unknowns that have real limitations such as costs or processing time. Thank you for considering it if this is useful to you.
