@thenoahfleming: Adam Grant’s trick for leading Before a hard note, say this first: “I’m giving you these comments because I have very high expectations, and I’m confident you can reach them.” The bar alone sounds like pressure, and belief alone sounds like flattery. Say both up front and the note lands as help. With a CEO, try: “I’m raising this because I hold this project to a high bar, and I know you can get it there.” Then give the note. Follow me for more of the exact words to say at work and in business.

So lame. A manager of mine once said something along those lines and absolutely set me up to fail by putting me in charge of a project I knew little about, days before kickoff.

That's the infamous 'only 10% of people can solve this'. Old as hunger.
