Translations:Managing Last-Minute Changes/17/en

There is no blame implied in any of this. Most late changes are not strategic. They come from overcommitment, low energy, poor timekeeping, or difficulty saying no earlier. Recognising those origins in oneself is often more useful than adjudicating fault.

| Conclusion=Last-minute changes are a permanent feature of arranging to meet people, not a sign that something has gone wrong. What varies is how they are communicated and how the resulting shift in conditions is handled by both sides.
