Процитирую кусочек из последней главы, который подходит сейчас под мою личную ситуацию.
There are two tactics that can help you if you're not Ellsworth Kelly:
- Understand that there's a difference between the right answer and the answer you can sell. Too often, heretical ideas in organizations are shot down. They're not refused because they are wrong; they're refused because the person doing the selling doesn't have the stature or track record to sell it. Your boss has a worldview, too. When you propose something that triggers his resistance what do you expect will happen?
- Focus on making changes that will work down, not up. Interacting with customers and employees is often easier than influencing bosses and investors. Over time, as you create an environment where your insight and generosity pay off, the people above you will notice, and you'll get more freedom and authority.
