I couldn’t agree more, being honest and complete upfront can save you a lot of uncomfortable explanation down the road when things start to escalate.
Another point about your remark about being “too emotional”, I’ve also struggled with this in the past and I was quickly categorised as “non-mature”, so put on the bench until I was able to manage my emotions. Funneling ones emotions in a positive way (not falling in apathy), would be my first recommendation for someone having struggles. A lot will fall into place once this is handled.
One last remark concerning your word “Brutal”, we use at my current work the word “Candid”. As a non-native speaker I looked it up and found it “on point” as to your definition.
Simon, as it happens often discussing with you, we are in the same wave. The emotional part is still a work in progress for me and for a lot of people that care about what’s they do. The word Candid is pretty spot on indeed but it has an innocent,gentle undertone that is not exactly my way (as you probably know). I wish I can work with you again in the future and I’m waiting for your publication

Sometimes, speaking your mind clearly and honestly is hard, especially when there is no good news.
But it's probably the only way to gain people's trust.
Good feedback is still the most valuable and undesirable thing.
Totally. Glad most people got the message and don’t think I’m mean at work 🙂
Great article. A brutal truth is better than sugary lies
Not your style but love this one.
I am still searching my style. But if you would hear me talk this is one of my most recurring topics
Don’t know why my phone is thinking I’m writing in German and corrected a word in a weird way 🤣
All the points are very insightful. Thank you.
Thank you for reading
