Questions

I once worked with someone that was really great at what they do, however, a fatal flaw they had was that they always followed something up with a question. Sometimes that is good and necessary. It clarifies and specifies. But when you pose a question after everything, it begins to lose the desired effect. The questions are answered infrequently because people become numb to the follow-up questions.

Sometimes, take what your boss says, and just do it without asking questions. Grab the situation and own it. It's not that you shouldn't ask questions or raise objections, but doing so every time can distract and delay.
