I was going to do a deep dive of this thread but I have instead decided, after some blue sky thinking, to take a helicopter view.

We should go after the low hanging fruits.
Make sure we are aligned.  
I would really appreciate your feed-in.

Let me run this past you.

My reply is usually something like "Wasting your time, pal - I'm 63 and gave up running a long time ago".

This is a huge one. I've had more than one manager tell me that in order to progress I need to think more strategically,  when in fact the only 'strategic thinking' they ever did was thinking about how to crowbar the word 'strategic' into every other sentence.

I usually say to managers "in order to progress you need to think".

I stop it there, no need to add 'more strategically'.
