I was recently in a group meeting and I heard from a colleague gave me pause. When it was time for one of our manager to share her status, she caught me off guard. Instead of just giving status and progress, she went straight to saying that she did her job, but it’s not done because another manager didn’t respond to her, so it’s not done and it’s not her fault.
