Culture of directness

I am a massive fan of building a culture of directness, making it easy to tell anybody at any time that the work they did was not good. Feedback without unnecessary packaging and clear statements on what actions they should take to improve. And vice versa, of course, comment as freely on stellar performances, so they can continue to train that muscle. Some people might initially be hurt or offended, but my experience tells me your teammates ultimately appreciate it.

*Directness does not equal rudeness. And Directness is not to be confused with Transparency, which is another one of my preferred company values.
