Seems like you might be mixing my opinion about the guide vs the dynamic of the standup.
Getting to know people, as well as getting to know yourself and how you behave/work with those people in particular, is a process, it is not something static that you can just put in a document and expect others to read, understand and act accordingly.
In the standups the manager could very well share anything they want, they just can't expect everyone else to know it ahead of time and to just adapt to him/her.
Relationships are two way streets, there's tug and pull, there's adaptation, there's context, there are events and situations, there is change and growth, none of these are properly captured in a document that just one person writes at one point in time.
- wrs 6y agoI just don’t know why you would think the process consists entirely of this guide. The process starts with this guide. Again you say the manager can share whatever they want, but when this manager shares what they want, you reject it. Is it that you just don’t think this should be written down, but should be vocal?

They can share what they want, they just can't expect others to blindly accept it and conform to it.
- wrs 6y agoSorry, still not following...is there somewhere in the OP where she says she expects anyone to blindly accept and conform? In fact, she says “mine has been a living document over the years, honed through continual feedback”. And what does “ahead of time” mean? Ahead of what time? If she says some of this at a standup why is it somehow not as oppressive as if she sent it in an email? What’s the difference?
