There are a lot of good points in that article.
I've found that nurturing a relationship with people who are already trusted is what pays dividends. When you earn the trust of a trusted individual they amplify what you can do. In turn, as you become a trusted individual, pay it forward, don't pull the ladder after you've climbed it. Good ideas can come from unexpected sources.
I worked for an organisation where where any employee could put forward an improvement suggestion. The company ran a process improvement course for people who felt strongly enough about their suggestion to commit to doing something about it. The course taught us many useful things.
The course was great and as we were committed to change we had to build alliances as part of our commitment to change. As an Aspie this was daunting.
People can react strangely to suggested improvements. People can perceive an improvement as a threat to them, either as a direct threat to the existence of their job, or as someone who is after their job. Sometimes you need to find a way to say that you are not saying they are wrong, you are presenting them with an opportunity to being even more right.
