I think you wrote your approach with the best intentions. In some scenarios it may work very well for everyone. In other scenarios it looks like a person circumventing rules and hierarchy, using social manipulation and pressure tactics, and interrupting workers who need uninterrupted focus time. People who use these tactics can come across as selfish and inconsiderate. Your approach may work great for organizational work priorities and helping build motivation, but for situations of overload you may be adding to the emotional stress of overworked developers.
