When they own Rocks that involve other people, they call the meetings, kick the butts, and get the important stuff done. And the more people you’re relying on to get your Rock done, the more you have to factor in lost time when you’re making a plan to complete your Rock. You have to think three steps ahead and plan for delays, because busy people aren’t always going to be available when you need them. If you plan for that, people can occasionally let you down and you’ll still complete your Rocks.”
