ONE BIG IDEA
![Page 6: Founder Leadership & Communication Workshop - 11/14/14](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060202/559ccb391a28ab3a0a8b4665/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Three Realities (The Net Model)

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 8: Founder Leadership & Communication Workshop - 11/14/14](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060202/559ccb391a28ab3a0a8b4665/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Stress
Learning
One more quick note: Where We Learn Most
15%
Comfort
![Page 9: Founder Leadership & Communication Workshop - 11/14/14](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060202/559ccb391a28ab3a0a8b4665/html5/thumbnails/9.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 10: Founder Leadership & Communication Workshop - 11/14/14](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060202/559ccb391a28ab3a0a8b4665/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Vulnerability“In order for connection to happen, we
have to allow ourselves to be really
seen.”
![Page 11: Founder Leadership & Communication Workshop - 11/14/14](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060202/559ccb391a28ab3a0a8b4665/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
VulnerabilityThe Paradox of Trust
You prefer to look strong rather than weak.
Problem: Everyone knows that.
Result: Willingness to show (some) weakness is
perceived as sign of strength.
![Page 12: Founder Leadership & Communication Workshop - 11/14/14](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060202/559ccb391a28ab3a0a8b4665/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
More Benefits of Self-Disclosure
1. Build connection, trust2. Repair distortions3. Avoid “progressive impoverishment”

What we mean by “feedback”
1. Not formal performance reviews
2. Not teaching functional skills
3. Discussions about interpersonal interactions and
working relationships
![Page 23: Founder Leadership & Communication Workshop - 11/14/14](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060202/559ccb391a28ab3a0a8b4665/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Why is feedback important?
1. Personal Development
2. Team Effectiveness
3. Stronger relationships
Bottom line: Feedback is how we grow.

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.
![Page 32: Founder Leadership & Communication Workshop - 11/14/14](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060202/559ccb391a28ab3a0a8b4665/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
A personal aside… The owl & the crocodile.
Dr. Seymour
“The limbic system that evolved to help us survive may be slowly killing us with the internal stress and external damage it produces...“
Who’s talking now?
![Page 33: Founder Leadership & Communication Workshop - 11/14/14](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060202/559ccb391a28ab3a0a8b4665/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
So… how do we communicate feedback
while minimizing defensiveness?
![Page 34: Founder Leadership & Communication Workshop - 11/14/14](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060202/559ccb391a28ab3a0a8b4665/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

New Mental Model
1. Feedback is new information about the internal reactions my
behavior has triggered in another person.
2. A feedback conversation is an opportunity for me to share new
information about the internal worlds behind my behavior.
3. Both sides get to decide what to do with that new
information.
Feedback is a gift!
![Page 36: Founder Leadership & Communication Workshop - 11/14/14](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060202/559ccb391a28ab3a0a8b4665/html5/thumbnails/36.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!
