I have worked in GTM/PM consultancy for some time now. This is the patterns I often observe:
- Have a vague understanding of the problem
- Architect an overcomplicated solution thinking of all possible contingencies
- Pitching the overcomplicated solution to someone else
- Ask them to come up with a simple solution. Ask questions to "birth" to the solution.
- Not providing any feedback as that would mean need you to be accountable for the work
- Trying to convince them they should work out the solution because they are the expert and much smarter then you
- Taking credit for solving the problem
