Here’s a shocking statistic: According to a recent Leadership IQ study, more than 80% of managers say they’ve avoided giving employees tough feedback because they were afraid of a bad reaction. And that’s why 51% of employees say they get too little constructive insight from their boss.
Nobody wants to hear tough feedback when it’s delivered poorly. But, by understanding the psychology behind constructive dialogue, you’ll learn to disarm employees’ defensiveness, eliminate blaming and excuses, and turn these conversations from a one-way “constructive feedback” into a two-way “constructive dialogue” that makes everyone comfortable and accountable.
And the result will be improved performance, deeper relationships, greater trust and significantly more accountability.
This 60-minute teleconference and webinar called “Delivering Feedback Without Making People Agry” will show you:
- 6-step script for turning “constructive feedback” into “constructive dialogue”, a two-way conversation that makes everyone comfortable and accountable
- 5 conversations you should never have, including the “compliment sandwich” and “shirking”
- 1-sentence that opens and deescalates tough criticism
- 4-question quiz for testing whether you’re using “trigger words” that make people defensive and angry
- How to de-layer your conversations (Facts, Interpretations, Reactions, Ends), and learn which pieces you should and shouldn’t share
- Discover the 5 Stages of Accountability (Denial, Blame, Excuses, Anxiety and Accountability) and how to respond to each one
- 4 powerful psychological scripts that keep conversations on-track, including the “No Excuses Conversation” and “Ownership Conversation”
