Conversation

One way to increase the breadth of your impact in an organization is to stop using your personal area of expertise to tell people "no", even if people are suggesting things you know won't work.

Instead, try, "no, but..." or "yes, but..."

When you constantly say "no" you shut down conversation and set yourself up as an obstacle to be worked around. So naturally, people won't ask you for input on designs or decisions or new projects.
