I think I'd prefer that over "Yes, Jim, that idea sounds great. Let's try that out" knowing full well he's doomed to fail... but has to see it for himself. Only letting the conversation end once they hear my support. The warnings and outright plea for a change in direction are ignored. Above is how 99% of my days/meetings go in the US. Equally futile but requiring ongoing [and ignored] input. At most a pep talk. I dream for that level of autonomy and honesty. Choosing when to get up/return? Not being goaded into saying something that's ultimately ignored? Oh, yea! When can I move? edit: Oh, the other 1%? Watching people double check the things I said I did. It's like there's no trust or purpose... because there isn't. Give me the spreadsheet.
