Look at Crucial Conversations. Don't take it as gospel, but it's a good starting point. Stick to facts. Clearly state your expectation, and show how they are not meeting that expectation. Then place the ball firmly in their court.

In most cases, the majority of my customer engagement is early in the process. Lots of discussion up front to inform the development. It tapers off through the iterations. Traditional "feedback" only goes so far. Most customers do

Start practicing CYA (Cover Your Ass) diligently. Follow all of the rules, document everything (email follow ups for any any conversation), and be tactful at all times. Give him no space to find fault, and have proof. Discuss your concerns

I don't believe they are inconsistent, but I also have the advantage of knowing my own life intimately. I suppose the context makes a difference. There are very few "rules" in this game, so feel free to manage differently. Yo

You seem to be taking something about this thread very personally. I'm sorry for that. I hope you have a good day.

DNA evidence works well. In all seriousness, I recommend not referring to them as "reports" at all. Call them "My Team", "us", "we". It creates a sense of collective ownership. When talking up, I use

Holdover from the military. I can see you're framing it as "beneath", which would be very inappropriate, but it references "under your charge". Thanks for pointing out that it could be misconstrued. I am sorry to he

Fortune 500 companies are held together by paperclips, bubblegum, and a whole lot of wishful thinking. Sometimes metaphorically, sometimes literally.

It's a different mindset, but I still think it's fun. For me, the key with that size of a group was focusing on the development of the leaders under me. When I make sure they are set up for success, things go smoothly. The hardest

We have an internal website with user-maintained groups/content. Every week, you get an email with major updates from the teams you want based on the important information they've been telling themselves. That's been useful f

That sounds like managers who haven't been trained. Leadership is a skill like any other. You can't just promote someone into it. They have to be trained for it.

We treat technical debt the same as any other issue. Put an issue on the board, decide on timing, assign it to a release, etc. I think the problem for some is that they don't realize they are creating technical debt.

The core trade-off is "what does the business need now" vs "what are the long term goals". I only consider the technical debt that will block us in the future. At any given decision point, you need to understand when tec
