Permission-seeking behavior can breed conflict in collaborative environments. Asking for permission shifts responsibility to others, leading to resentment and undermining trust. On the other hand, seeking advice shows respect and allows for honest feedback without burdening others with decision-making. Those who provide advice feel more invested in the outcome, creating advocates for your approach. Ultimately, the responsibility lies with you to decide and face the consequences, rather than relying on permission from gatekeepers. Pitbull’s advice rings true: “Ask for money, get advice. Ask for advice, get money twice.”
