You're right Dragos, sometimes it does feel like a tough battle to challenge the established status quo.

But sometimes it's worth it, isn't it? And as you say, you gain useful experience by working out how to challenge effectively.

Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts.

The approach is by giving a lot of arguments and examples. Sometimes you win, sometimes you don't, but you really gain experience.

Two big take-aways for me were to perfect my pitch first, and then identify the right time to share these ideas. Thank you so much!

Thanks for sharing your feedback, Lannie. I agree with your point that we should observe and understand before rushing to make changes. That time spent shows that a person is willing to listen.
