Scenario

When teams struggle with metaphorical feedback and clarity expectations

Our team lead is Taiwanese and gives feedback through stories and metaphors that I think are supposed to be gentle corrections, but half of us don't understand what she's actually asking us to change, and nobody wants to admit they're confused because that might seem disrespectful.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen
