   Before

   "The most important professional relationships you will have in your career are with your peers. They are the people who will vouch for you, collaborate with you, and eventually manage you or be managed by you. Invest accordingly." Adam Grant, Give and Take [...] "Most peer conflict in professional settings is a function of feedback that was never given directly. People build up frustrations for months that a ten-minute conversation could have resolved in week one." Kim Scott, Radical Candor [...] "Trust among peers is built in the small moments, and it is built slowly. There is no shortcut, and there is no substitute. It is a long game, and the people who play it well have the longest careers." Patrick Lencioni, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team

   After

   As Adam Grant discusses in Give and Take, peers are often the professional relationships that most shape a career, since they collaborate with you, vouch for you, and often end up managing or being managed by you. [...] As Kim Scott discusses in Radical Candor, much peer conflict stems from feedback that was avoided rather than given directly, letting frustrations build that a direct conversation could have resolved early. [...] As Patrick Lencioni discusses in The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, peer trust is built slowly, in small consistent moments, with no real shortcut.
