Giving Critical Feedback | Simon Sinek

Показать описание

Feedback should be a tool for growth, not criticism. We need to create cultures in which everyone believes feedback is for their benefit, so they are more likely to hear it and grow from it.

Simon is an unshakable optimist. He believes in a bright future and our ability to build it together.

Described as “a visionary thinker with a rare intellect,” Simon has devoted his professional life to help advance a vision of the world that does not yet exist; a world in which the vast majority of people wake up every single morning inspired, feel safe wherever they are and end the day fulfilled by the work that they do.

Simon is the author of multiple best-selling books including Start With Why, Leaders Eat Last, Together is Better, and The Infinite Game.

Very important words!
Communication is not about talking at people, but ensuring that your message is heard and understood. It's about the reception of the message, not the delivery.

True Simon. Often times in my experience, I have first asked them what they felt and how they felt things where going and most of the time they realistically will tell me if its good ornnot. Then I ask them what can they do better, and how I can help. This approach has always got them happy to receive feedback from me because I am not there to judge but help. As a leader, if you need to prove u r being supportive and then they WANT to work on the feedback ❤

Compassionate curiosity. Effective for several reasons... Caring tone and deliberate word choice. Doesn't intimidate or subjugate. Positions the feedback giver as a learner rather than as a domineering figure. All render it digestible. Classroom worthy!

Appreciate the thoughts on this. Definitely wished more leaders would manage this well

People need to understand that the words that you say are not always the words that you truly meant to say. And that the message that the other person receives is not always what you've said.
So in conveying a message from _your_ brain to _another person's_ brain, the message can already be warped twice! That's why we actually need to make an *effort* to ensure that we say what we really mean to say in a way that the other person receives it in the way we intended.

Creating a condition in which people are willing to accept and hear it- well said!

Closing comments absolutely nail why it's important to handle the conversation in the way you outlined in the first place. Brilliant.

'Constructive' is the operative word when it comes to criticism. Trust your instincts to decipher the difference between gaining knowledge you need to know, or to help you and team improve, and abuse designed to wear you down and sap your will. Sometimes you have to trust your gut to tell the difference. Feelings do matter sometimes.

Hey YOU, incredible person reading this...The truth is you are confident and good enough already with who you are, where you are at and what you have right now to have the success you want in life. Don't let others define what “success” is for you. Get up, learn that skill and go after it! I believe in you so much! Have an awesome day! - Love, Nat ❤️

so many things matter actually- when you give feedback, their mental state, their aura, other person's situation!!!

I totally agree, really heartwarming. This is how I want to be treated. However, I often get stuck in the imaginary backlash that I want to avoid and then there is no transmission of feedback at all.

Working as a leader and trying to do this, I can say it definitely works. Even if you explain the feedback or observation first and then check in to say is everything ok can be very powerful. You’ll find sometimes they even ask you for more examples so they can fix the behaviour after you highlight it for them and have shown you also care about their well-being at the same time.

Constructive criticism is necessary to grow. I would like to add that providing examples of "change" that may need to be done during this conversation is also a way to provide a visual and perspectives from leadership. I think this can ensure understanding and how about to make the "change". I admire your leadserdhip Simon.

I believe people receive constructive criticism better when you first tell them the good things they are doing before telling them what they need to improve. The Army has a well documented development program that incorporates positive and negative feedback together.

When the subordinate told her supervisor how her tone made her feel the response was "well, what do you want me to do? I cannot help how you feel "
