They felt frustrated about a hiccup in one of our processes resulting in a minor delay of finishing their feature.</p> <p>I empathized with their plight and reassured the hiccup wouldn’t have any major effects. The team was still on schedule for their deliverables, their boss (me) understood why for the delay, and I knew it wasn’t the fault of the engineer. We also had a good plan in place to prevent the same issue in the future.</p>
