    “I like the specific feedback that the team leader always gives me, but I would like him to ask me my opinion or circumstances sometimes.”
  • od3
    “When I meet with my friends, I’m a chatty person, but when I go to work, I’m a silent person. Why do I stop talking at work?”
  • od4
    “It’s hard to find a memory of a good conversation at the company. I want to know what the hell is wrong.”

Is our company only doing feedbacks?

We achieve mutual learning and growth through genuine conversations, not conversations that only leave feedbacks.
