Managing a Difficult Conversation

I wanted to have a quick chat about the last few project deadlines.

I know a couple of them slipped. It's been a hectic period.

I appreciate that, and your work is consistently high quality.

But the delays are having a knock-on effect on the rest of the team.

To be honest, I've been struggling to balance the client calls with the reporting.

That's useful to know. Perhaps we could redistribute some of the reporting tasks.

That would make a huge difference. Thanks for being so understanding.
