Under pressure

Please do this
Respect their evidence-based way of communicating.
Give them time and space to explain.

Bring evidence and data along.
Please avoid this
Cutting off the explanation because it's long
Demanding conclusions without evidence

Asking for a redo right before the deadline
How you recover

Depending on
who's listening

DoAnnounce changes early and offer reassurance. Slowly.

With a Analyst
DoPrecise, data-driven, aligning standards together.
WatchYou both over-analyze. Agree on a deadline as the stopping point.
