the work is before starting it

Don’t assume that everyone understands what to do just because you do.
Be sure that everyone has the same view

agenda is set; who does what, when will it be done.

doingBe aware that different
personality types will have different perspectives of what is good and bad
Do not get stuck in your own preferences
