Great feedback will make you the leader that employees long for…
but if YOU are not great at RECEIVING feedback, it’s more likely to demotivate your people and waste everyone’s time and potential.
Most organisations make the critical mistake of underestimating the importance of helping people become better receivers. They help people give feedback – but what good will that do if no one has learned to receive it?
Feedback triggers emotional responses in most of us, and our unconscious response might be to dismiss, defend or counter-attack. Do you recall saying or thinking the following when someone offered you their view?
- what do YOU know anyway?
- how rude – after all I have done for you
- I was only trying to help, it wasn’t my idea
- what about yourself?!
So how do you make sure feedback doesn’t turn into fear or conflict, but into on-going learning, deeper relationships and improved performance?
This talk helps you understand and avoid the mental pitfalls of receiving feedback, so you can master appropriate reactions – and be a role model for your team to do the same.
Takeaways
- Understand the different kinds of feedback - and how to ask for what you need
- Learn how to spot your emotional triggers in feedback situations
- Learn how you can apply a growth mindset to receive feedback skillfully
