- Communication between [a large group](https://twitter.com/RichRogers_/status/1159872097205805056) is hard. Noise in the processes might change the message and cause conflicts. Nuance is hard to convey in groups.
- The [biggest problem with communication is the illusion that it has been accomplished](https://jabian.com/blog/the-illusion-of-communication).
- Some tips to simplify communications:
- Use a few bullet points to put attention on the main points you want to convey.
- Without going overboard, use a tasteful amount of graphic design (e.g: bolding one key sentence).

## Giving Feedback

- Feedback needs to be informal, frequent, and done authentically.
- Feedback should be offered with a willingness to listen in return. Those giving feedback should also ask for it.
- Challenge ideas, not people. Address behavior, but don't label people.
- Most feedback you deliver should be positive. This makes the negative feedback more important.
- Prepare. What do you value in someone? Where do you think are their biggest opportunities to improve?
- **Keep the feedback actionable, specific, and kind.**
- **Keep the feedback actionable, specific, and kind.** Be as specific as possible and contain concrete suggestions on how to improve.
- Imagine what things feel like from the other perspective.
- Criticize in private, praise in public.
- You can use a [feedback model](https://jacobian.org/2021/apr/22/three-feedback-models/). These are behavioral and impact focused.

- [Act as if you might leave on short notice](https://jmmv.dev/2021/04/always-be-quitting.html). Document your knowledge, long-term plans, meetings, train people around you, empower other people, delegate and keep learning!
- Write everything in plain text and in a shared place so is not lost.
- You have to put in more effort to make something appear effortless. Effortless, elegant performances are often the result of a large volume of effortful. Praise this instead of complex solutions.
- Invisible work will happen. If you're doing it, make an effort to share and get credit for it. Build a narrative (story) for your work. Arm your manager and fight recency bias keeping track of all the things you've done.
- As a manager, give problems to solve, not solutions. Make sure the team knows what they're working toward and that it has the resources needed to complete the work.
