Olek, the client is blocked. Can you look at it now?

Sure.

Why did my team get assigned work without me knowing?

Something wrong?

I need to know when someone is setting work for my team.

I wasn’t assigning work. I was trying to save the client.

And I’m accountable for what the team takes on.

So I message Olek and tell you at the same time?

For urgent issues, perfect.

Nia sees the fastest route to the person who can solve the client’s problem. Karim sees his responsibility for the team’s priorities and workload. An efficient shortcut for one side therefore feels like bypassing a role to the other. In urgent situations, do not block direct contact. Set a simple visibility rule instead: the specialist receives the request and their leader is informed of the new commitment at the same time.
