    Then the trick is to immediately do the “follow up” email to recap what was discussed. And CC some folks who weren’t there.

      Oh but they will neither confirm, nor correct you and then they will say that the recap was all wrong because reasons and they never even saw your email because too busy doing work or something

      But that’s a good idea, actually, I’ll try that in my team interactions

        The important part is to include something alongs the lines of "Please let me know if this is not correct by xx/yy/zzzz, otherwise we will proceed on the assumption it is.’ That way their ignoring your message becomes agreement and it is much harder for them to gi back on it.

        Use their inaction to get the result you need.
