It would be great if people could actually do that. Taking such huge risks with major but miscalculated leaps could be courageous but not at all times a wise thing to do.

Pissing people off kind of brings back the old adage “Would you rather be loved or hated as a ruler?”

Now in this case it seems pissing people off would most likely lead them to hate you, and perhaps fear you. Then things would get done. If people loved you they would be inclined to think, “Oh well John will let me get that raise next week.”

So it appears pissing people off is key for being feared.

Thank you for the kick in the pants. It’s true, irreverent blogs are the ones that are followed. Disruptive start-ups are the ones that can knock established companies from their market lead. As the Creative Director of a potentially disruptive start-up, I look forward to pissing people off. Thanks for permission.

If the ideas will prove something good, which will improve someone or something’s ways, then it will be fine to piss the others who think otherwise. Just make sure that, all will be better afterwards.

Just knowing you did the right thing is enough. Sometimes a thank you isn’t necessary. People who won’t accept change? Probably get them out of your organization.
