New guys require some nurturing. Especially if we’re dealing with a guy who has not had a real world dev experience. Applying more and more pressure will not cut it. I could do better to help Dorian. I was a bit harsh on him yesterday. But he also has to step it up and be more proactive. It’s a learning process. I can’t expect him. We both can do better.
On DR. I am being too lenient on him lately. Now I see him being overly relaxed. That’s not good. So far, and it’s close to a year, he’s only done what I expected of him. Long term, that’s not going to cut it. He’s not going to get anywhere with that approach. I expect consistency, that desire to get things done, and getting them done. And I expect quality. Lots of improvement to be made. But I see progress so that’s encouraging. We’ll see if he can take it forward. Don’t expect the things / work to come to you, you act first. Don’t let others find issues, you identify them and come forward.
Same thing with my son. I have to keep having these 1:1s. I need him to know what I’m expecting from him. He needs to know that. He has to expect a lot from him. It’s hard in term of me communicating that to him.
