# A peer keeps creating problems for my team. How should I frame the question to Em?

Tell Em, the AI coach in Empatyzer, about the dependency and the specific pattern before describing the peer as the problem, for example which input arrives late and what each team seems to expect.

Select the peer above the chat if you can, or their department if the friction is between teams, and ask Em to prepare a discussion about the working agreement and what each side can realistically change. Since you may not control the peer's priorities, the outcome may need to be a shared decision or an escalation rather than a more persuasive demand.
