Mike, this is a really insightful look at the complexities of feedback in our current work environment. I'm particularly interested in how these observations translate to fully remote teams. The blog post touches on the challenges of timely and effective feedback, and I'm wondering if you've observed specific nuances when dealing with remote team dynamics. I've found consistency (from the start) plus finding a knack for catching the right moments work best, but honestly the improvements diminish in spite of more effort, like my gym routine lol.

Thank you again for sharing these thoughts with us. The article spoke to me of the situation where a manager is providing feedback to their reporting staff and is very helpful. I am in interested in how we could apply the above (or perhaps other ways of thinking) in those situations where it's appropriate that staff provide feedback to managers - particularly in contexts where staff could effectively and kindly initiate such feedback. Appreciate any thoughts/advice you may have or materials when could reference to explore further. This is not to inspire insubordination but as managers we can benefit from that feedback but we might have inadvertently kept the door closed for staff to initiate the feedback.
