Last week, I spoke about the trap of the "mean" accountability buddy
The short sighted belief that you must be "mean" with your buddy to help him/her achieve more
But then how are you supposed to react when you can't see much progress on his/her part?
Let's find out!
A thread
1/ First, let's be careful with "progress", as it is not always that easy to measure.
Particularly for insight problems, where it is often difficult to determine whether any progress at all has been made until the problem is essentially solved.
2/ Even if your buddy thinks it has been a poor week, some great things might actually be happening in his/her brain behind the scenes.
Who knows, he/she might be on the brink of a great breakthrough.
