RE: https://mas.to/@stevegis_ssg/116438107437415663 If you're managing people, it's always a good idea to give them a regular stream of feedback whether that's "this can improve" or "this is going great" -- probably a bit of both. 1) If you let people know what they're doing right, telling them when something hasn't gone great is usually less stressful in both directions. 2) The world is as uncertain as ever -- you can help people a tiny bit by introducing some clarity on how they're doing at work. In the absence of feedback, people may create their own narrative that isn't as positive as you might hope. The ratio of people who say they don't need regular feedback to people who really don't benefit from it is like 50:1. Many people will try to appear low-maintenance when they really do need regular checkups. (I was going to make a "check the oil" analogy, but that might've gotten a bit weird. It's a good idea to stay away from "dipstick" analogies in the workplace...)
