Tfw you miss a small detail on a client deliverable 2 weeks before reviews. Yes, of course, it was caught by the client and nobody else.

Use it as an opportunity to strengthen your relationship with the client. You're human, they get it.

^ those items to me don't constitute review, that's what value the manager is responsible for adding. Full review of those items go to director. So you review details, add big picture. Director reviews big picture. Partner changes the colors. That's the sequence. Agree that detail orientation is important but to say anything more than "we should've caught that" is missing the forest for the trees

If your manager blames you for it just because you had the pen first that's a bullshit manager. Every person that reviews it has full ownership once they provide comments, all the way up to partner. The best leaders understand this.

Yes but manager reviews tend to be story line, summary data, key findings, etc. I’ll take the hit if my team messes up detailed slides- but there will likely be a discussion from me to them afterwards. My review doesn’t negate your accountability

RACI, you are responsible, your manager is accountable. if you (R) screwed up, you have to correct it. Manager takes the hit from the client, you take a hit from your manager. making sure you do your job right to build trust with your manager.

Tell them to have some decency on the recent-cy!
