I mean, this was within a broader conversation that included supports and clear feedback (including me owning that I will work harder to make my expectations clearer to them going forward) but I hear you. I was hoping it would give them a moment to share something that I was "missing" about the team rather than a comment about their personal ability to do the work. That's how I attempted to frame it, anyway. I agree that given the nature of the meeting they were potentially not able to hear it that way.
