Welcome to the Better Tech Leadership podcast, where we connect with tech leaders from all over the world to share their know-how on bridging the gap between business and tech. In this episode, host Leszek Knoll, co-founder of software development agency @Brainhubeu, talks with Marc Furrer, Client Director at FNZ Group about:

- Addressing Underperformance in Self-Organized Environments: In modern work environments, underperformance might go unnoticed for years due to the structure of hierarchies. It's vital for self-organized teams to address this promptly to ensure efficiency.

- Challenges with Peer Feedback: Addressing underperformance among peers can lead to defensiveness or conflict. It's essential to approach such situations with understanding and empathy to avoid escalation.

- Potential for Workplace "Mobbing": In a self-organized team, if many people single out one person, it can lead to a feeling of being ganged up on, which can be detrimental to team dynamics.

- Importance of Feedback Culture: To maintain a healthy work environment, it's crucial to cultivate a culture of feedback. Training employees on how to give and receive feedback can lead to more transparent and productive conversations.
