I agree with this although it makes me think about company culture
There is huge emergent value to some of the.. let’s call them “softer” communication approaches
It becomes possible to get out of random suboptimal Nash equilibriums almost immediately
People can give more to each other, and better receive feedback
But I think the only way to do this is by having the type of people who already think in those terms and prefer them
There’s not a lot you can do to enforce it
But it’s still a thing, and in my opinion it’s still a thing worth moving spaces for (to the extent that you have the luxury to do so)
I don’t know that it scales very well, but at a certain scale it’s an incredible thing
I’m currently leaving a job over this
There are still some people who I know are capable of engaging in this way
But we’ve kind of lost the battle, we lost too many critical people in our management chain
So everyone is kind of reverting to these shittier communication styles
It’s a bummer, and it just slows everything down so much
