Another take on this I like is "radiating intent". Broadcast what you want to do, when you plan to do it, and give stakeholders space to explicitly object, rather than explicitly chasing consensus / alignment / approval. Works in some scenarios, and generally requires baseline trust to have been earned.

- kashyapc 2y agoThanks, this is an interesting take. The 4 reasons for "radiating intent" make sense. It works in moderately high-trust organisations. I also appreciate the author (Eliz Ayer) adding the below nuance: "In all fairness, you might get less done by radiating intent. It does give obstructive or meddling folks a way into your thing. Also, advice like this is very situation- and organization-dependent and won’t be appropriate all the time."
