When encountering a decision that appears ill advised, assume the person who made it is competent and always start by asking why they made the decision they did. Be curious, not judgmental.* Either you will learn more about the circumstances behind the decision or your questions will prompt a discussion and possible reconsideration. Either is so much more productive than walking around and muttering incoherently about stupidity in the workplace.

Iโve learned this the hard way. Inferring lack of competency or ill intent from someoneโs actions, only to learn there was more to it. So much opportunity wasted.
