The Business Case for Kindness - A PDD Holiday Special
Eddie and Morgan explore the concept of intentional communication within engineering management, sparked by Will Larson's post 'Good Engineering Management is a Fad.' They emphasize interpersonal communication's impact on individual and group performance. Touching on the Gottman method's 'Four Horsemen,' and Nadella's promotion of Nonviolent Communication at Microsoft, this episode is crucial for understanding practical, intentional communication strategies for both planned and reactive scenarios in the workplace.
