FEELINGS AND EMOTIONS - WHY?
Everyone feels
them, we just
pretend we
don’t.
Convey crucial
information,
absence of
emotion leaves
out half the story.
Emotions indicate
importance.
Most powerful
motivator?
They are
an early warning
system
![Page 6: Founder Leadership & Communication Workshop - 01/22/15](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a89c5e1a28ab94188b4649/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Will I be less liked,
respected, influential
(leader-like)?
SELF-DISCLOSUREWe are constantly making the choice of
letting our self be more fully known
Is it relevant? Will it further the discussion – the
relationship?
Will others use this
information against me?
How will others
see/assess/ judge me?
“What in
my ‘bubble’
should I
share?”
![Page 7: Founder Leadership & Communication Workshop - 01/22/15](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a89c5e1a28ab94188b4649/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Vulnerability“I define vulnerability as the expression
of uncertainty, risk, and emotional
exposure.
![Page 8: Founder Leadership & Communication Workshop - 01/22/15](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a89c5e1a28ab94188b4649/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Paradox of TrustYou prefer to look strong rather than weak.
Problem: Everyone knows that.
Result: Willingness to show (some) weakness is
perceived as sign of strength.
![Page 9: Founder Leadership & Communication Workshop - 01/22/15](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a89c5e1a28ab94188b4649/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Benefits of Self-Disclosure
1. Build connection, trust2. Repair distortions3. Avoid “progressive impoverishment”
![Page 10: Founder Leadership & Communication Workshop - 01/22/15](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a89c5e1a28ab94188b4649/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Authentic Leaders“The single factor distinguishing top
quartile managers from bottom quartile
managers was strength of affection – both
given & received – with their team.”
(“Leaders guide to recognizing and rewarding others”, Kouzes & Barry)

The Bottom Line1. As a leader, you are a walking, talking social
threat. Be aware of this, be thoughtful.
2. You are also a role model – watch your own
defensive reactions.

So… how do we communicate feedback
while minimizing defensiveness?

New Mental Model
1. Feedback is new information about the internal reactions I am
having to your behaviour.
2. Both sides get to decide what to do with that new
information.
3. Goal is to enter joint problem solving mode.
Feedback is a gift!
![Page 38: Founder Leadership & Communication Workshop - 01/22/15](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a89c5e1a28ab94188b4649/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
1. Focus on specific, observable behavior
2. Describe the impact of that behavior on YOU
3. Do NOT address MY motives or intentions.
(Do listen actively if I choose to share them.)
How to Give Effective Feedback
Stay on your side of the net!

Lets try some examples…
1. Semira, you clearly don’t care about this presentation.
2. Semira, I noticed that you are looking at your phone.
You are clearly bored with this presentation.
3. Semira, I noticed that you are looking at your phone.
I am feeling anxious about whether I am doing a
good job with this presentation.

Practice 2: A Difficult Other
Think of someone in your life whom you want to influence/give constructive feedback
• Have issue; some concern about how to raise
• Not most impossible; but yes, challenging
• Want something from/more functional relationship; have more influence
E.g. peer, colleague, boss, friend, SO, family member
• Reflect:
• Behaviors/Actions you find problematic
• Effect/impact of those behaviors on you
• Cost?
• Your needs? Their needs?
