Why do we do the things that we do? There are two ways of approaching assignments. You can either toe the line or question all the crucial matters. When you’re creating something for someone else, you usually sit down together, listen to their needs, lay out some ideas and come up with a solution which you will then turn into reality.

We don’t use summaries anywhere near enough at work. As a result, we leave people hanging, wondering 'WTF is going on?'.
