Thanks for writing this, Angie! Saying no is critical for success, and also so hard. I really like your method of asking more questions to clarify the importance of the request. One of my biggest takeaways here is that when you say "yes" to one thing, you are likely implicitly saying "no" to something else that you might not have fully considered.
Hi Greg,
Thanks for continuing the discussion. You offer some good thoughts on succession planning. My hope is to help each associate develop, and part of that means they may well move on to a different role, in which case it's great to have an internal pipeline of candidates to replace them as you suggest.
On your question, in writing an article like this it's entirely possible that someone on my team might read it and give me feedback :) I probably wouldn't hand them the article, but walk them through it in discussion.
