Feedback is an essential part of effective leadership.
However, many leaders struggle to deliver it.
Leaders cite being conflict-averse as a reason why they dodge giving feedback.
Conflict-aversion stems from a fear of upsetting others, rejection, and abandonment.
Leaders who avoid important conversations typically face greater long-term difficulties.
⚠️ Lessens Respect & Self-Esteem
⚠️ Undermines Trust & Transparency
⚠️ Weakens Communication & Connection
⚠️ Blocks Growth & Development
⚠️ Impedes Performance & Delivery
Take a breath before reading the next line.
Leaders, the above difficulties are about you.
For example, avoiding important conversations lessens the respect a leader receives and erodes self-esteem.
That may be challenging to accept.
Yet, leaders are accountable for what they convey as well as for what they don’t.
