Technique 4: Faking Responsibility

Faking Responsibility is the art of appearing to have a plan, while secretly winging it.

It's a delicate dance of nods, hand-waves, and vague assurances.

Key takeaways:

• Use the phrase "I'm on it, I swear" to deflect any actual work
• Make eye contact, but only if you can see someone else's eyes in the vicinity
• Claim you'll get right on it, but "just need 5 more minutes"

Example 1: The "I'll Get Right On It" Technique

Example 2: Nodding Off-Duty

Example 3: The "I'm on My Way" Technique (a.k.a. The Vanishing Act)

Practice makes perfect, but mostly just makes you more convincing. Practice, practice, practice!
