Noun: A tactical strategy of deflecting requests for action by an executive to an outside or adversarial party. When deflecting a request that one does not wish to fulfill: 1.) Present three disingenuous dead-end solutions that appear to be plausibly helpful at face value (especially to the uninitiated) 2.) Delegate follow-up to a subordinate (who cares less than you do). The desired outcome of this tactic is to either force the target to spin their wheels on solutions that won't work, or work with your subordinate who doesn't care either. Plausible deniability is achieved in either context.
