Are you struggling to give your engineers truly honest feedback?
Recently, I had the chance to talk to a group of distributed engineering leaders on what was different on their teams now compared to before COVID-19 sent us all remote. One surprising thing we found we had in common was how difficult it is to be candid with people right now, and it’s become near impossible to let under-performers go. The amount of feedback we have been giving across the board is at an all-time low.
Why is this? You often hear that even in office settings, managers typically regret waiting too long before finally parting ways with someone who chronically misses expectations.
