Bill couldn’t figure out why the volunteers for his professional organization weren’t accomplishing their tasks.

Adam had people begging to work with him but trying to negotiate down his already very reasonable rates.

- Create systems that take the emotion out. For instance, if getting people to follow through on commitments is a problem, create a routine check-in time to ensure that they feel accountable to a check in time. I love doing weekly status reports with my team.
