[quote=Anonymous]Black person here. Just plain black.

In plain language, why create drama with a senior/mid level manager just to stand on your power to say "no" or a narrowly constructed pathway to yes?

Rather than bring DEI (or any other acronym) into the discussion, I'd offer that your repeated "no" responses reflect a lack of trust in the manager.

You lack vision for how their request just might move the needle closer to the organization reaching larger goals.

Or you may be a micromanager.

The problem is you, not them.

Even if you don't agree with the "how" why not try saying yes and trusting the training, experience, and knowledge the person brings to the table. Tell them that they are a responsible for producing evidence of progress and goal attainment. Give clear expectations for how you will measure success.m (or what success looks like).

Then say no. But repeated no's from you will not encourage collaboration or trust on either side. Your reputation for being unbearable will precede you.
