You wouldn't feed your dog this slop

Sometimes I think we get into the process of not paying attention to how we treat people.  We can end up doing stupid things like bossing other people around instead of treating people on our team as partners.  I can see how it can be easy.

If I am a "champion" of the project much of the weight will fall on me.  Right or wrong, it happens.  And when you feel all of that pressure maybe you lose some of the trust that you have.  It will make everything a mess.

So I think somehow you need to make time to reconnect with your team.  Slow down and remember what you're trying to accomplish and how you need those other people.  It come back to communication.  The more you truly communicate the more your team will feel like it's their project, feel more ownership.

And once you feel ownership to a project you will jump through hoops to get the job done.
