Was about to comment the same.
It sounds like this advice would be great if you had to make a decision in seconds.
But in the office, where you usually can slow down to gain more time to evaluate your options, but management is overeager and wants you to go fast, I think that making them aware of the severity of a problem and reasons why the current approach won't work is half of the work...

@wolf480pl@mstdn.io @timsev@mastodon.social Hmm, I think you are reading a lot more into this than is written there. I don't encourage navigating all of our professional lives as though we are navigating a whitewater river and shouting to each other about rapids. The point is just, when you are navigating a big change, it can often be more helpful to paint the picture of what success looks like or where we should go next than to focus overly much on all the ways we can fail or go wrong. But this is a very high level observation (and partly a joke, written for an audience of friends) rather than a thorough guide to workplace leadership.
