I remember specifically having my first meeting with a Director of a large account at my last job. I was really excited by it and was rattling off a list of ideas and tactics and strategies for how we could open the account. His face turned bright red and he started SCREAMING at me. At that point I was like “oooohk I did the thing again.” And backed off and didn’t interact with him. After that he was a total asshole to me and started spreading rumors about me. He felt extremely threatened I gather that he had been running this account for years and I could walk in and imagine a number of new approaches. If I did it now I wouldn’t be so direct. I have ideas all the time and most like do not want to have discussions like this because … they don’t have ideas themselves. Corporate middle management are generally non creative and “brainstorming” just pisses them off.
