A checklist always gets the job done.

It accounts for rules and processes, it ensures that timelines are met, and it guarantees that no critical step is forgotten.

But what a checklist does not do is to consider the emotions of those involved. The stress it puts on them, the uncertainty between one step and the next, the guessing that tends to fill in the gaps.

For that, there’s no checklist that can help.

You’ll just have to be human.
