A deadline has been missed twice.
It is reasonable to ask what happened and what will change. It is also worth asking whether the person has the information, time, and authority needed to complete the work.
Accountability works best when expectations are clear and obstacles are discussed plainly.
“The report is due Thursday at noon. What is preventing that from happening, and what support would help you deliver it?”
The answer may reveal a problem to solve. It may also confirm that a commitment needs firmer follow-through. Either way, you have a clearer basis for the next decision.
Have you made both the expectation and the available support clear?
