QUESTION: I assigned four projects to a manager who reassigned them to a Staff 2 person and I gave a date when they were needed that was three weeks away. When I asked about the progress after two weeks, I was told that nothing was near completion. Now there is a super rush with much stress. How could this situation have been avoided?
RESPONSE: First off – you are to blame. You did not work with the manager to see how she would assign the work and to whom.
