As a manager, this is 100% the answer. The people who do this are incredibly valuable.

At every performance review I tell all the people who don't do this that they need to do it more. None of them ever do.

For all I can tell, it's an immutable characteristic that 90% of people will never bring something up unless you ask them.

I have never liked the word "manager" because it's rarely useful in practice, the best managers are actually doers who can cut through the performative transparency and "DDoS attack" of constant updates to see when communication is being used to manipulate or mask failure rather than report progress, because the last thing you want is for your employees to become politicians
