We do find mechanisms to address some of the same issues Bridgewater attacks. The way we solve the “backstabbing” problem, for example, is that if you write a nasty email about someone, you shouldn’t be surprised if they are added to the email thread. I remember the first time I complained about somebody in an email and my manager promptly copied that person, which forced us to quickly resolve the issue. It was a stark lesson in the importance of having a direct conversation with my colleagues!
I need to start doing this, or equivalent. Email and real-time anytime feedback should result in immediate discussion.
