The Engineering Manager's guide to open, honest and constructive feedback

It's as easy as ABC
August 10, 2020

Empower your team members and build high-performing teams.

As engineering managers, we all have to provide feedback for our team members to help them grow in their careers and realize their potential. Many of us share feedback on a regular basis during 1:1s, as well as annually during the performance review cycles. However, if you’re not having regular 1:1s I strongly recommend scheduling these at least on a biweekly cadence, as they’re proven to be a key way to build trust and avoid surprises down the road. 

Each company has their own framework around performance review cycles and there is a debate[1] on the efficacy of the various models in use, ranging from the graduated rating[2] to no performance review at all[3].
