Hi Sage - I know I first cottoned on to the idea that it just may be an issue of timing from one of your earlier threads - and for the most part, I am rising to the challenge of just sitting it out. I guess when an issue requires some urgency, my patience wavers
Another thing though, is the style of arriving at conclusions. My preferred approach is to talk it out, ruminate as a team, and I guess I'm less precious about putting something half baked out there. And I was expecting NG to have the same approach. Wrong. Turns out that for 20 years we have been struggling with different styles. He likes to really think things through, and while there is still some wiggle room, he does like to communicate almost the whole game plan in one go. So, instead of feeling I've been left out of the decision, I just need to find a way to provide 'input' along the way, and from past experience, he DOES take my input on board, providing it is put across delicately enough.
In this, I do believe I'm in the consciously competent quadrant - roll on 'unconsciously competent'
