Exactly! Vague goals or feedback can feel like a trap—everything seems fine until review time rolls around and suddenly it’s like, “Well, that’s not what I meant.” Clear expectations create a shared understanding and set everyone up for success. It’s not just kinder—it’s actually more empowering for the employee.
I like the way Kim Scott describes "moving fast as a leader" in Radical Candor. It's holding a rope by the end swinging it in circles. To the center, you, the leader, it may feel like an ok speed, but to the end of the rope, there's someone holding on for dear life.
