Perhaps this is exactly the criticism I need to hear.

One slightly tangential thought that this lead me to was that currently, I get a new team multiple times a semester. There simply isn't time for this overhead every single time. Teaching takes time, gaining trust takes time - this might be one of the causal factor for the poor quality.

I try hard to not be part of the problem, but you're right that there's always more that I can do and every moment can be a learning experience - I can think about a couple times I had the potential to be a much more positive impact.

Thanks for the advice, I really appreciate it.
