Why do we have to have a conversation about maintaining our infrastructure? When you build a road, you know it’s going to deteriorate. You build a bridge, the engineers will tell you upfront what the serviceable life of that bridge will be. And they even have fun graphs that show the downward curve of the bridge’s reliability over time. Are conversations about how we will maintain our business, work, or team infrastructure more difficult topics for some leaders?

As it turns out, there’s an art to the request — whether it’s directed at an employee who’s producing subpar deliverables or a colleague from a different department who hasn’t been pulling their weight on a collaborative project.
