Totally agree. To be clear, I am technical, and I definitely was able to evaluate the work being done once it was delivered. My mistake (among many) was letting the work go too long without any visible progress.
That's why I get annoyed when people just lament about the problems with things like OKRs and KPIs, while totally disregarding the problems these things were designed to solve and pretending that if managers just had a more "trusting" mindset that a million Higgs and Wiles would be free to blossom.
- Gibbon1 3y agoI don't know what to think about a 'senior' engineer that doesn't reflexively keep his manager in the loop.
- osigurdson 3y agoI don’t understand the “once it was delivered” aspect. Why not ask people to commit whatever they have and then you can see if it is going in the right direction (or not). If you can’t do this yourself, at some point you need to be able to trust (yes trust) someone who can. You could not formulate OKRs or KPIs that would have solved this problem.
