I have a problem that I was wondering if a pro or someone else with management might have some advice on. To wit:
I've written a script that has been read by several friends, many of whom are industry pros themselves and it's gotten good reviews however, my manager of two years disagrees and says it's not good enough to go out. EVERYONE agrees the concept is solid, however.
Normally, my manager and I are very sympatico on what is ready and what isn't and I readily incorporate his notes, but in this case I'm completely stuck as I happen to agree with the vast majority of the readers who've said they like it very much.
My question is this, I have a few other managers as acquaintances that I'm sure would take a read of the script but my conundrum becomes if they like it what then do I do? Is it a horrible breach of etiquette to be looking for a second opinion?
Has this happened to anyone else? Thanks in advance for any salient thoughts.
