Learning to Say No to Bad Ideas

A List Apart posted a great article on the practice of saying no to bad ideas. Below is a excerpt from the full post, be sure to read the full post here.

“No. One word, a complete sentence. We all learned to say it around our first birthday, so why do we have such a hard time saying it now when it comes to our work?

Guilt. Fear. Pressure. Doubt. As we grow up, we begin to learn that not doing what others expect of us can lead to all sorts of negative consequences. It becomes easier to concede to their demands than to stand up for ourselves and for what is right.”
