Chances are as a leader you'll be faced with having to
give someone constructive feedback this week. Yet have you
noticed how people often aren't quite as open to the feedback as
you'd like them to be?
Chris Hogan, who talks about a process called Courageous Conversations, says the key
when you're receiving feedback is to avoid blaming, complaining,
and explaining. That's courageous advice, for sure, and
easier said than done.
Charles Jacobs recently released
a book entitled
Management Rewired: Why Feedback Doesn't Work and Other Surprising
Lessons from the Latest Brain Science. Whether it's giving
feedback, leading change, or other challenges that face leaders,
Charles has some helpful insights based on the most recent brain
science.
I was able to catch up with Charles recently while he was
relaxing in the Caribbean! Enjoy the interview! To learn
more about Charles, I invite you to check out his website at
http://www.managementrewired.com/.
I consistently
hear from my executive coaching clients that navigating conflict is
a real challenge. Because of that I created an engaging e-learning
offering entitled Beyond the Rock
and the Hard Place: How to Deal With Conflict More Effectively.
