Management

If you don’t give honest feedback, don’t expect improvement

Iyas A · Mar 19, 2021 ·

I found this on a school report from when I was 12. It’s wonderfully honest. I’d wager he was really thinking “The kid’s a bit shite, but as he’s large, we can use him as an obstacle in defence.” But he was worried about my feelings, so he softened it up. I wish this was […]
