Recently I was interviewed by Rita Cincotta for her fabulous podcast, The Deliberate Leader.
During the interview, Rita asked:
‘What do you see are the essential qualities and characteristics of deliberate leadership when it comes to feedback?’
My response:
Connection
Compassion and care
Confidence and courage
Before you start a feedback conversation:
Start by focussing on your connection with that person.
Step into compassion and care for that person.
Have the confidence and courage to engage in the feedback conversation.
The Warm-Up conversation of the Feedback Fitness Framework is a perfect opportunity for you to build trust and connection with your team members. It’s a chance to demonstrate your support, empathy and listening skills.
