Great ideas can be sourced from anywhere…
I disagree with that attitude - good ideas come from a team with different perspectives. You should be more open minded and assess ideas on its own merits, regardless of the source.
Then you’re not a good PM
I find that this is usually someone who wants mentorship but doesn't know how to ask. If they're proposing features in good faith - I'll explain why it will/won't work, and which alternatives would.
I'd hate being a dev, and I don't want to get on their bad side. Never hurts to cultivate a teammate.
It’s that attitude that gives consultants a bad name.
I love feedback from my devs. Perhaps it depend on the quality of your team. For me the PM's are the ones making dumb decisions 🤣
Maybe OP is coming from a valid angle that we can’t see, I mean we don’t really have the full context 🤔 sometimes developers can talk for the sake of talking with a condescending tone, doesn’t mean they do intentionally (well at-least most of the time they are not intentional)
You cannot generalize to a whole group of people - that’s stereotyping. I’m sure there are condescending developers, and there are also humble developers - the same holds for designers and any other profession. Give people the benefit of the doubt.
If it was not an interactive design that was user-tested I would too.
I don't mind if they have customer empathy and they are also giving technical implementation feedback, i.e this is a complex build and will take more time, or this is alternative design pattern we use for a similar workflow
Wow! In reality the perspective from others enriches processes and reduces blind spots. It is at the core of most valued organizational frameworks from the good old Lean principles to Agile. I have worked in the top organizations and the culture of listening and actively collaborating with all team members is what makes the best places to work better. Try it out!
