How to respectfully establish boundaries? This has been going on for over a year now, b/c I wanted to assume the best, but I’m at my wits end

Two things I did that helped me in these situations. 1) I establish clear roles and responsibilities up front, 2) give him just-in-time feedback. We work with so many type As in rapid pace environment, I’ve learned most people don’t have the self-awareness to stop and think about what they are doing wrong. If he’s not willing to take feedback and correct his behaviors, I’d get the project leadership involved.

Hi OP! I think my personality (some may call abrasive/direct...) helped me navigate these kind of situations. It happened to me by a co-lead, who is a born to delegate anything and everything. If I was delegated by him to do some administrative tasks, I would respond to say something like “it seems that we need to discuss ancillary tasks that currently do not have owners assigned to them, such as this particular task. I am happy to take this on to get us started, but let’s discuss a path forward.” If he’s being a D about it (likely he would be), id honestly just say “let’s discuss this over the phone so we don’t make this a problem.” Good luck, OP!!

How do my fellow litigators deal with hearings that don’t go so well? Whether you fumble over your words, don’t make all the points you wanted to make, or the judge is annoyed and/or gives a bad ruling, etc. I just had a hearing this morning where the judge granted my motion but only after acting annoyed and coming very close to denying it. Now I am replaying in my head what I could’ve done differently and kind of beating myself up. Does this happen to any anyone else?

Hey guys, I am an incoming Bain AC in europe (DACH region) and potentially looking into making the switch into PE later on in my career.

Do you know of people who managed the jump, if so what time of their career and how? I am asking this early as i know time flies when you then start working!
