The real answer is that ideas are a dime a dozen and execution is everything.

When you proclaim a good idea, you aren't offering an execution plan to go with it, so people (rightfully) ignore it.

Actually it is not even execution, but who promotes the idea and whether they have clout.

People in management also tend to buy impossible lies especially considering deadlines.
