Dear F@W
At the beginning of the year, our CEO challenged the sales division of our small consulting firm to come up with new ways to expand our reach. I spent the last three months independently researching and verifying an excellent new revenue opportunity. Well, the boss just trashed my proposal. She didn’t even let me explain, she just said it wasn’t what she was hoping for. How can I get her to listen to new ideas if she already knows what she does and doesn’t want? And how can I be expected to read her tiny, closed mind?

Ever feel like a gerbil running in one of those wheels? All day long I try to make some sort of progress, only to find I’m right back where I started. Every project at this place has to get done yesterday. That’s not the problem; the problem is that we have to get approval from everyone on the management team. We joke about the red tape shuffle but it really wastes a lot of time. I have to go to Jack with Jill’s ok, before I can go to John and say Jack approved, before I can go to Jane and say John give the thumbs up. It’s a ridiculous process and I’m sick of it. Do you have any suggestions about how to stop the madness?
