i feel better already!!

i guess that plays into all sorts of leadership practices.

One thing that is implied here rather than stated is a person's planning and organisational skills. 

In my experience the procrastination you describe sometimes masks a person or teams poor planning ability which is probably covered by 'unprofessionalism' as you say, but the two are different i think.

it would be interesting to be able to see some stats on the reasons for frantic deadline-approaching effort/performance 

motivation, planning, prioritisation etc</description>
