The Planting Seeds Approach

The culture at your current organization involves norms that wouldn't fly elsewhere. Challenging these directives head-on gets you labeled as a troublemaker, which is stressful and isolating. This tactic allows you to plant small suggestions over time, nudging people toward understanding how other approaches may serve better, without overtly confronting anyone or risking your standing in the company.
