On the other end of the stick from the other explanations here, I've worked in at least one team where there were no Karas. Our boss would come up to us and say "this is totally wrong", and we would discuss it without missing a beat.
I think there are benefits to being forthright, but you absolutely have to make sure there aren't any Karas first. And be ready to take the article's suggestions to heart if there are, without grumbling.
- nailer 9y agoI once had a UX designer who was tasked with creating, or picking (with appropriate license) an icon to represent the volume of traffic on a keyword on the Twitter firehose. They picked some traffic lights. Keep in mind, the icon represented the amount of traffic, not whether traffic is stopped, started, or pending change. The icon would have been poor for that task too, since it was in two colors. The UX designer required explanation as to why their traffic icon wasn't sufficient. Later, the company folded, amongst the other reasons given were that they should have fired the Kara way earlier than they did (for many reasons, including lack of competance and not being able to handle feedback).
