I think creating a culture where it’s ok to not have to justify yourself is so hard but important. Being able to say “nothing of note to update the team on” or “still focused on X,y,z at the moment” is great. If team members or leaders want to dig in / ask questions great. So many organizations create dynamic where people
feel they need to demonstrate all the work they’re doing (and some people just have an innate need to do this as well (often the least productive people)). Obviously leaders and managers to need to be connected to that - but standups don’t seem to be the right place for that
- bongodongobob 3y agoThis is a problem created by management though. So many meetings are just reiterating data. Managers feel the need to say "ok everyone, here is the data we all have access to. I will now read it aloud to you." or "Please give me all the information that is already in our ticketing system and read it to me." And that justifies their paycheck. There's just no fixing that.
