TALK ABOUT THESE EARLY

Making decisions

C decides fast; you weigh the risks first. Agree a decision date up front.

Risk

C takes calculated bets; you spot what could go wrong. Put both lists on the table, then decide.

Recognition

C likes success to be seen; you prefer a quiet word. Ask C once which works, and stick to it.

ASK BEFORE THE OFFER

1“Tell me about a target you missed. What did you do the week after?”

2“Your manager wants more checks than you think are needed. What do you do?”

3“When something goes well, how do you like it to be noticed?”
