Here's a sample conversation between a Manager and one of their team members.
What do you think went wrong here?
Manager: "James, have you received the supplier evaluation report?"
James: "Yes."
Manager: "Have you already read it?"
James: "Yes, I have. It was quite complex."
Manager: "Ok. So have you understood the new evaluation matrix?"
James: "Yes, of course." (What else can he say...)
Manager: "Have you already thought about how to present it?"
James: "No, not yet."
Manager: "Can you squeeze that in somehow until our next 1:1 in a week?"
James: "Yes...sure."
Manager: "Glad to hear that. Then let's move on to the next topic."
How painful was this to read?
