How to get along at work

For the Explorer

  1. Give the Organizer a clear reason and a small pilot before proposing a big change.
  2. Flag changes early — last-minute surprises cost the Organizer more than you think.

For the Organizer

  1. Try the Explorer’s idea as a short experiment before deciding it won’t work.
  2. Agree on the few things that must be fixed, and leave the Explorer room to work in their own way.
