It doesn’t pay to pitch a ball too quickly, but it does pay to bring up a problem with your boss sooner than later.
It’s better to address the elephant in the room early on in a meeting, but it’s not better to toss the ball onto the court before the ref gives you the signal that you can.
There’s no gatekeepers to proactive communication in relationships and work like there is in sports.
