Chances are they may still have reservations, but will extend the same support to you that you do to them.<br /><br />2. Simplify your idea in a way that you can implement it (or at least create a support-winning deliverable) largely through your own efforts. Go beyond the recommendation and help them "see" the final product.<br /><br />3. <a href="http://brainzooming.blogspot.com/2009/01/creative-quickie-share-credit.html" rel="nofollow">Cheer when someone else implements your idea!

Especially when the idea is implemented by another department down the road and you weren't involved in the process. I've had this happen a few times now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
