Judge Not at Work
Table of Contents
Critique the work and pattern at the office - not the person's worth or soul.
Key Concept
- You are not the final judge of a colleague's worth - name your own miss before you magnify theirs.
- Still read fruit: outcomes over time tell you if a process or leader is sound.
- Gospel depth: Judge Not and By Their Fruits - plank first, then evidence.
- Give Useful Feedback names the work; this note blocks character verdicts dressed as reviews.
Level 1 - Recognize
Judge not at work means critiquing the work and pattern - not the person's worth or soul.
Level 2 - Explain
Like reviewing the play, not declaring the player hopeless - fix your own sloppy pass before you roast theirs.
Level 3 - Use
Before the performance comment lands, name one way your work missed the same standard this quarter.
Level 4 - Connect
Fruit-reading stays fair - because outcomes over time matter, distinguish bad output from worthless person.
Level 5 - Create
Build feedback that follows Give Useful Feedback and Outcomes Over Pitch Decks - evidence on the work, not a soul verdict.
Examples
- Glad I caught myself writing lazy on their review - I rewrote around the missed deadline, not their character.
- Standup pile-on about the intern's typo - I named my own typo from last sprint before anyone else spoke.
