Setting Expectations

With the book launch approaching (May),
I’ve been busy developing new working relationships. 

What I do with every “partnership” is
outline how I work best and my expectations. 
I capture these in writing (in email) and
send it to the key people involved. 

Sounds like a no-brainer but
very, very few people do this. 
And not being clear about your preferences
causes unnecessary stress on the relationships. 
Be clear about what makes you a happy partner.
