Trouble Getting adjusted to Smalltalk

Well, I think this way: 
When I need to get some work done, I try to talk only with people (objects
in this case) that is related on first degree with that work. Usually I get
a reduced set of them and then trust (delegate) on they responsibilities.
If I end up talking with so many people, may be someone is missing (someone
who organizes or coordinates the other ones) and the lack of his role is
messing things up.
