About this audiobook
You have spent years building your work ethic. You deliver on time. You finish what you start. You hold yourself accountable even when no one is watching. And then you collaborate with someone else — and somehow, without ever agreeing to it, their sloppiness becomes your stress, their late delivery becomes your apology, and their ill discipline becomes the thing you are now quietly cleaning up at midnight.
Projected Behavior names this pattern for what it is: the unconscious transfer of someone else's inefficiency onto the person in the room who can absorb it without complaining. It happens in business partnerships, creative collaborations, ministry teams, and marriages. And because no one calls it out at the start, it festers into resentment that quietly ends relationships nobody meant to end.
