Reading this newsletter issue has made me appreciate what my manager goes through when giving feedback and also given me tips on how to give feedback to my colleagues and direct reports. Thank you!
Great write-up Wes! This definitely gives some perspective on the manager side of giving feedback. I love how this article connects to a big point in "How to Win Friends and Influence People" RE "drawing a bigger circle around you and the other person to show you are both on the same team".
I do think that feedback is indeed a two way street and while we can control how we deliver feedback, there is a shared responsibility on the recipient to acknowledge/convey how they feel about the feedback as well as trying to be open minded about feedback as a gift for being better
Thanks for sharing, Wes! Made me think about about what direct reports can do better to make this process easier and more effective for all parties involved within the 6 points you shared :)
Ive been sharing the strategy vs self expression concept in personal relationships a lot as well. It’s the same idea, do you want this person to change their behavior (i’d love if you texted me to let me know you’re ok) or do you want to vent? (You never text me when you said you would!)
Save the venting for a safe space and don’t muddy the waters.
