If you consider it "loud" to be able to send out an email of five things to a group in a structured format that everyone at the company uses then I think we should just agree to disagree. I see that as not loud but having the expe

As I see it if you don't have the self-awareness and feedback gathering skills to understand the things that aren't going well then no amount of "professional development" will help you succeed at a high impact executive

It seems to me that someone who can directly voice their views is a more efficient employee than someone who needs another person (their manager) to use their time do it for them. A company biasing to more efficient employees seems reasonab

That doesn't help with non-deterministic failures and I've also yet to see a true "write once, run anywhere" system ever. It may be 99% "write once, run anywhere" but there's always that 1% edge case.

In my experience corporations respond more often to bad publicity than they do to actionable feedback in terms of larger changes like this. One big reason is that often they already got that actionable feedback during the planning of this p

What I noticed decently often is that the safe decisions you can make are fairly constrained. By safe I mean that even if things don't go well you will not be held too responsible in a material way. This might be communicated directly
