I had to relearn how to deal with people to get better effort from them, and how to point out a mistake in a neutral way.
Always say things in a way that lets people save face and doesn't point fingers. Even if it's obviously their mistake, make it a neutral issue that the two of you deal with as a team, using each of your strengths to complement each other. It's amazing how well that works in getting people to do better.
+1. Great story.
