| Besides not forgetting the word "know" make sure that you are

| help they promptly ignore it because it wasn't what they wanted
| to hear.
|
| A lot of today's management phrases are totally empty and just
| sound good without any meaning. "Let me challenge that
| assumption" or "but what if we had an anti-gravity drive?" are
| fashionable phrases that sound insightful to the person saying
| them but really aren't.

|
| What does this one mean? I know you said you think they're
| meaningless, but in what context is this one used?

| it may be possible because of A, B and C" you have something
| to discuss. Otherwise it's just an empty phrase.

|
| I've been an Individual Contributor, and a Manager, and am
| back to being an IC.
|
| I've been on both sides of this conversation.
|
| One of the benefits of being a manager is being able to see
| the forest from the trees while your team members may be so
| focused on their tasks they do not see the big picture.
|
| Sure, sometimes the answer to "but what if it was
| possible?" if just "it's not."
|
| But a lot of times, the good managers I've had would
| propose an approach to MAKING it possible that I just
| simply didn't see. And I've been able to do the same in
| their shoes.
|
| Sometimes it requires a paradigm shift -
|
| Q: "How do we get to the other town faster?"
|
| A: "The horses are running as fast as they can"
|
| Q: "What if we found a faster horse?" (e.g. a car)
|
| But honestly in day to day office culture it rarely needs
| to be so revolutionary -
|
| Q: "Could we finish the project faster if Bill's team
| helped us?"
|
| A: "No, it's not possible. Bill's team said they are
| completely swamped"
|
| <Goes off to do some managerial work>
|
| Q: "Okay, I've chatted to Bill, and his team is fully
| available to help us finish the project."
|
| I'll leave you with this "Expert" saying that something is
| simply not possible:
| https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKorP55Aqvg
|
| And an actual expert showing how it can be done:

| I'm not so sure that's silly. There's two discussions - one
| is 'is X possible', and the other is 'what do we do if X is
| possible'. They're asking you the second question, and
| you're answering with the first, which is probably the
| silly thing here.
|
| They're possibly asking you the second question because
| they have context that you do not about the first, or they
| have conflicting advice from another expert on the first
| question. It may not be possible to pass on that context,
| for example for reasons of time or security, but they want
| your answer to the second question anyway.
|
| It's reasonable to answer the second without the first.

| It's not always necessary to explain why you think
| something might be possible in order to ask whether it's
| useful. Ideally you could trust your team enough to assume
| that they wouldn't waste your time with "what if X was
| possible" unless they had reason to think that it was
| possible.

| Start helping, then ask what _else_ you could help with

| raped and then subsequently murdered, for Supreme Court Justice
| Samuel Alito, who apparently decides he would rather just have
| ten billion dollars instead. US Attorney for Western New York
| James Kennedy rapes these boys instead:
