They feel more and more like a little nut or bolt inside a huge maschinery, completely forgetting, that it`s these nuts and bolts that form the maschinery altogether... Bye Buck Hi,

Is 'saving face' (for both parties) more important than performing well together? The question is rhetorical. Projects present a situation where one failed action (promise) can result in a stream of missed commitments, often with significant negative consequences. Looking good (saving face) gets in the way of making promises that are reliable AND result in not looking good when the promise goes unfulfilled! Yes I address the issue of looking good. It results from being reliable. Buck, let me offer another question. Is ’saving face’ (for both parties) more important than performing well together?
