The feedback summary invents agreement
Ollie uses Otto to summarize his 1:1 with Dana. The note says they agreed he should lead the next review, although Dana only asked whether he wanted to try it. Margo reads the note as a staffing decision. Ollie now has an assignment that neither participant actually confirmed during their conversation.
Why it looked good
A note with a clear action looks more useful than a question left open. It replaces an invitation to discuss work with a commitment.
Q1 · What is this really for?
Was this conversation exploring a development opportunity or assigning the next review?
Q2 · Who decides, and did they?
Who can assign the review, and have Dana and Ollie both confirmed that assignment?
The next move
Ollie changes the note to an open proposal and asks Dana to confirm the owner, scope, and support before the next handoff.
