Delivering Feedback That Gets Heard by Michael Bungay Stanier WBECS 2018

This is it! Day Twenty-One of my Twenty-One Tools post series! Today, you can download Three Tips for Delivering Feedback That Gets Heard by Michael Bungay Stanier.

Alright, let’s be honest. It’s tough to hear that we’ve made a mistake or we’re slightly off-track or we’ve really ticked someone off. We all want to be seen as pretty good at what we do. Don’t we? At least it’s nice to operate under the illusion that we’ve got all our ducks in a row. Alas, sometimes we mess up. Fact of life. Nobody’s perfect. Getting feedback about our performance in the workplace is a lot more productive (and a lot less anxiety provoking) when the person delivering feedback knows how. Listen up leaders, this one’s for you.

I’ve been a raving fan of Michael Bungay Stanier’s work since he wrote Do More Great Work. I loved that book so much that I actually bought a bunch of copies and gave them as gifts. I was just as jazzed when he released The Coaching Habit: Say Less, Ask More & Change the Way Your Lead Forever. Coaching for leaders, simplified. Yay!

You can download and use this tool right away as a model for delivering feedback that is supportive, productive and meaningful.

Here’s a sample from the download, Three Tips for Delivering Feedback That Gets Heard

Building a culture of supportive, useful and ongoing feedback is as important now as it’s ever been. As organizations reinvent their approach to performance management, as they seek to keep their millennial workforce engaged, as they elevate coaching to be an everyday leadership skill, feedback matters. It’s natural to focus on WHAT to say (which, of course, matters). But HOW you say it matters just as much. Neuroscience can guide us on how to best say what we’ve got to say. The brain is constantly checking if the situation is safe. The acronym TERA refers to four factors that increase a sense of safety and drive the neuroscience of engagement.
