Start like a Turk, continue like a German, finish like an Englishman.
The progress of a job where you have started everything perfectly as a result of long planning may not be of the same quality.
There are many reasons that lead to this;
-The low price given in the beginning to get the job may lead to people thinking "this much work for this price" over time after getting the job.
-A customer or manager who does not like whatever is done may cause passive resistance in employees.
-In jobs that involve too much involvement, the competent person becomes overwhelmed after a while; He may be incapable of implementing the plan in his mind by saying 'let it be what you say, let it be what he says'.
-Excessive time, stress and cost pressure can reduce quality.
-Long meetings can waste time, and frequent change requests can distract from the essence of the work.
-Those who do the job right can be removed from the project, pacified or alienated, and this is usually caused by managers or manager-like people who want to take ownership of a job that is going well.
To make a ranking...
-The idea that "5 people are too many for this job, 3 people can take it" is the third biggest factor.
-Losing focus is the second biggest factor.
-The biggest factor is jumping into another job before finishing the job at hand.
In short, the word
“Start like a Turk,
Carry on like a German,
Finish like an Englishman.”
