Expectations

You can’t hope things into compliance. If you want something done a certain way — and you're in charge — you need to communicate your expectations.

If it’s procedurally critical or critical because it’s important enough to you ... then put some rules in place. Solicit cooperation.

And if it’s not worth setting a protocol, then it’s probably more trivial than you once thought. Maybe not worth being annoyed in the first place.
