Letters to a Young Manager


Poke in the Eye, #558
LTYM >

Please note that this letter is in-process; the following are my notes

Dear Adam,
***
Sometimes you will get asked that question that makes you stop and say "what?" It may even come from someone on your team. That's a positive.

Rui brought this up at the 6/29/21 NetHope membership committee meeting, as something he learned from me. It's a question that's designed to get a reaction.

Who on your team will ask you a tough "poke in the eye" question? Who tells you the truth?
***
Sincerely yours,
Ed
