@Region Philbis,
Makes sense - I took the stance I would work on the group project so not as to hold other people back. Also it is easier to control your own stuff so getting a group item done takes longer and like you said more involvement.
If you can guess - I have this issue - where this bonehead is causing me to take longer because I have to wait for him. Happened again today - we had a client call and he hadn't even looked at his portion so I was unable to answer the clients questions that they sent over. And it was all his stuff that they had questions on - pretty much because it wasn't correct and he didn't do a thorough self- review.
Makes you look like the idiot since you are the face person on this. Next time I will not volunteer to head up anything he has his hand in.
