Today I discovered something more about myself, thanks to the creative director of the project I am working on with a company.
I tend to not insist too much on my vision. I explain it, defend it, and usually that’s it. When I see too much resistance from the other side, if I have no real power over the decision, I desist and try to meet the boss’ vision.
This is good, but it can lead to a passive-aggressive way of communicating. “I will do like you say, but I do not agree”. At first it may seem like there’s nothing wrong with that, butthe issue is that:
- it looks like a “ok, whatever” and can damage the relationship
- it is vague, proposes no real solution, and can damage the project
- It is not informative enough for the team to make choices on that
Today I have learn something more about myself. Something I want to fix. And that’s why I prefer to work within a team.
