• issues get escalated unnecessarily
• work gets duplicated
• accountability becomes blurry
None of this is dramatic.
But over time it can slow down execution and create unnecessary frustration inside the team.
Clarity of responsibility is one of the simplest — and most powerful — operational improvements a firm can make.
