This! Also, please tell their lead about it. Especially in a remote world, visibility isn’t always there (and it shouldn’t be, unless they’re micromanaging).
Tell a coworker they're doing a good job. You may think they know, but you have no idea what life is like inside their brain.

After 10 years of being told I need to get better at communicating with senior stakeholders, I've finally realised that those white men need to get better at listening to me.

I don't want to tell billionaires how they should or shouldn't use their money. I want society to be structured in such a way that single individuals never become so wealthy as to have the power to singlehandedly alter the course of society on a whim.
