This is an answer to a question I was posed on Quora. I’d avoid collecting money entirely (i.e., 100%) on the backend except for the shortest and smallest engagements. Here’s one anecdotal story: I once managed a business advisory practice as part of a large, international and diversified products and services firm.

Last month I chatted with Tony Roth, Chief Investment Officer at Wilmington Trust, N.A., a subsidiary of M&T Bank (NYSE: MTB) as part of his podcast series, Capital Conversations. For me, it was an interesting conversation to have had for a number of reasons, and three perspectives really captured the direction of my thinking. The first perspective was that as a society we have really been under a lot of stress for the past two years, a type of stress that I have not seen in my lifetime.

This past week I tried an experiment of allowing students to customize a portion of a 2.5 hour class. Students were given an option to “open” one of four doors, and then I would lead the class discussion in a direction based on what door they voted to open: Door 1: Experiential activity (P2P-related) Door 2: Agile/Scrum crash course (team-related, something you will likely encounter in business) Door 3: Chapter 1 & 2 quiz “show” Door 4: Idea on prospecting for research host.

Fault = You created a problem due to an error you made. Responsibility = It’s your job to fix the problem. For most individual contributor roles, it is your responsibility to fix any mistakes that were your fault. I call this 1:1 responsibility to fault ratio. You clean up any messes you make. However, as you move higher in an organization, the ratio changes.
