As leaders, we all know the value of honest feedback. Chances are, you do your best to encourage it in your workplace. What CEO doesn’t claim to have an “open door policy” when it comes to suggestions from their team?
But when you request feedback, are you asking for it in a way that requires people to be brave as they speak truth to power? Do your folks feel safe sharing what they are really concerned about? How can you be sure they aren’t holding back for fear of retribution?
My new video, “Don’t Ask Your People to be Brave” explores a few methods you can use to create a culture where sharing concerns and suggesting changes feels more like a fun and creative exercise and less like testifying in a courtroom. Give it a watch if you want to learn how to get honest feedback from your team and make the most of the great minds you have surrounded yourself with.
