John & Jane: An Example Case Here is an example to start this essay out: John Doe wants to have someone sing at an event coming up that he is putting on. He asks Jane to sing because he’s heard she’s a good singer. Jane accepts and sings at his event. Afterward, John goes up to Jane and says, “That style sure was unexpected. I don’t really think people here appreciated it.”
This is another example of how important communication is. I'm inclined to say "John" holds the most responsibility as he was responsible for organizing the event. Everyone could have communicated better. The audience could have appreciated something different. Jane could have gone above and beyond to research what would please the audience, but overall John should have researched and communicated to make sure Jane would deliver what matched the audience expectations.
In the "aftermath" what's important is that each element honestly accepts their role in the situation rather than "pointing a finger" at someone else for unmet expectations.
