One of my least favorite management antipatterns:
"Can we just try this for a while to see how it works?"
Not because that phrase should never be uttered, but because at least half the time when it happens it's happening because the manager(/exec) wasn't listening to feedback at all or had already made a decision without collecting feedback first.
If you want to use that phrase, you need to schedule a point in the future when feedback will be collected and the decision analyzed.
