I agree it's a 50/50 thing, both sides need to be willing to adapt. I agree with the advice of learning to walk in step with those you work with. The main question of my post is how do I advocate for a more structured communication style to an audience that is either indifferent or hostile to this style. These are super intelligent, friendly and capable people. I hope I am not framing them negatively, this post is not a dig at them, it's more of a question of how to politely push or bend things in a positive direction. I feel like the task I have at hand is like trying to get kids to eat their vegetables or herd cats.
