Ask HN: How to help a shy developer to participate to a team?
Hello HN,
I recruited a junior developer for my company who I knew to be very shy and reserved. He has been working with us for almost a year in an open-minded and low-hierarchical company.
He is a good player, but his shyness prevents him from sharing its ideas and contributing to the company's progress like any other employee.
Do you have effective management techniques that I could use to help him?
I'll probably suggest him to make small informal technical talks within the team or even in public to show him that he has things to share. But i'm sure some people tested very good method.
