Samir and James are both co$-$op students working in a small graphic design firm. They are often asked to work collaboratively on projects. Although James generally produces high$-$quality work, he tends to wait until the last minute to get tasks done. Samir works more steadily and keeps on top of key tasks daily. Samir complains that he feels he has to worry both about James' work and his own. And, because they rely on each other for certain tasks, Samir is becoming increasingly anxious and frustrated when they are forced to pull things together an hour or so before deadlines. James has cancelled their last few project meetings at the last minute, and Samir suspects that James is deliberately avoiding him. What is the most likely cause of this conflict?
