What did “taking responsibility” mean?
One situation. Different assumptions. A shared question.
A priority order was accepted before existing delivery commitments were discussed.
Accepting first may have felt like being dependable. That is a possible explanation to check with Daniel, not a conclusion about him.
“Did our request leave room to explain the constraint?”
- Was the existing workload visible?
- Who could change the delivery priority?
- When had raising a concern felt easier?
