Crunch Time!

Good intentions...are often just that, and no more, as it doesn't always get done. No less, either, as most of the time, people do intend to do what they say, but then life gets in the way. What are we to do, when we rely on others for something and they let us down (in one way or another)? Do we take charge, running over everyone else in the process, but getting the mission accomplished? Or do we sit back, hoping for something to happen, while our mission remains incomplete? Or better yet, do we attempt to stimulate action, but only find that we have not hit the correct "motivation" button?

In the end, when it comes down to "crunch time", the mission must be completed - it cannot remain unfinished. That leaves someone to take the "burden" of work on their shoulders, regardless of how much effort they have already poured into the project. This can cause some frustrations amongst team members, especially if there isn't enough communication regarding these issues, but ultimately, what can one person do? Besides complete the project him/herself, one member cannot control what the others do, and so it becomes a question of how those good intentions...were only good intentions, and not a reality.
