During a recent coaching session, a music school owner asked this question:

“Is nagging teachers part of my job?”

This owner was frustrated and exasperated because she had repeatedly asked her teaching staff of 20 to give her input on the upcoming recital.

And.. then….

*crickets*

She had to chase her teaching staff down and use a lot of time and energy to get something that could have been a quick response to an email.
