Four times
Some people are takers. They know there’s an exchange involved but at every point they’re looking to overbalance the scale towards their own side. They don’t…
It’s almost a truism. At any time there are two people involved in one responsibility, confusion is the default. But I thought you …? No, that’s on me …? But …!
There is an alternative; work it out. Spend time at the beginning working out who is on what and where the demarcation lines sit, who prepares Tab A, who holds Slot B, which party moves their piece to engage with the other. Then, as thing wriggle along, spend more time clarifying and clarifying and clarifying until it’s, er, clear, and that clarity become second nature. So whenever anything piece of the comes up, there’s no thinking … there’s only knowing.
