I’ve often tried that too, but unfortunately I’ve only been successful sometimes. It’s not as if I haven’t tried to make it as simple as possible - with examples, metaphors and so on. I have the impression that people often just want to hear what suits them. Unfortunately, even or especially when they don’t have the slightest idea. I often get annoyed with myself because I sometimes fail to make people understand that what their highly paid consultants are saying is nothing but buzzwords and hot air. That makes me sad.
Confirmation bias is a hell of a thing. Something to keep in mind is, in some cases you can’t win. With shitty leadership/management sometimes you are damned if you do, damned if you don’t. At the end of the day, it all depends on how much you want/can afford to give to the people you work below. You can only put so much effort into your work before it starts impacting your life outside. I am lucky enough to be able to live by, “I don’t live to work, I work to live.”
