When I became a manager, the Skill-Will Matrix was the most important framework I learned.
Your management style should depend on the employee’s context. Some people lack motivation (will), others expertise (skill) and some both.
You can’t just manage people how you like to be.

Being able to take feedback’s an underrated skill. Most people struggle to separate their identity from their work. Criticism of their work makes them defensive so they don’t listen and thus don’t improve.
Always ask yourself
1. Is this feedback fair?
2. If so, how can I fix it?

There are two common mistakes to avoid when performing user research
1. Asking people what they want – people are experts on their problems not solutions.
2. Asking them to predict what they would do – everyone says they’ll eat veggies and exercise even if most won’t

I'm also scared sharing something like this because future app updates could be held up or blocked, or just go in a lower priority queue. The app review process is usually good but occasionally capricious in a way that engenders fear.

Instagram has always been a terrible platform for photography and photographers. It’s ridiculous to ever lament a time for it when it didn’t suck. The good old days for photography on the internet was called Tumblr.
