About a year ago, I started noticing an odd trend at work.  People would ask for my advice on how to move ahead on a project; I would give them my advice; and then they would hurry off to get a second opinion, as if they didn’t trust what I had to say.  Once I realize that this kept happening, I got a little annoyed.  On the one hand, I see the value in getting a second opinion, but if you are constantly re-confirming what I’m telling you then stop wasting my time and just get your first opinion from someone else, you know?  Obviously, that is not the right attitude…
