Our approach flow is a great example. I'll have a place in my mind where I intend to call for the checklist, but typically less than a minute before, the Captain begins to do the flow and pull out the checklist. If you think I've forgotten, politely ask if I want the checklist.

Best briefing I have had from a Captain: "I'm not going to start doing checklists until you ask for them. You're a big boy and can call for checklists yourself."
