Thanks for writing and cross posting it Max, I think feedback giving in an underrated skill in the movement which we all should practice more. In my previous jobs I found that I almost never heard from my manager what they thought about my work overall apart from the annual performance review time, and I can imagine that reading the general assessment on a weekly basis can make you feel more confident especially if you made a mistake that week. I think many managers think that the reports can “read their minds” but making “the implicit explicit” and separating local and global feedback can be very beneficial to ensure the report has a chance to improve or has confidence they are doing great work.
I will follow your Substack and hope you cross post more!
