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 - 12/09/14](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103019/55c17862bb61eb6d158b468a/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 - 12/09/14](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103019/55c17862bb61eb6d158b468a/html5/thumbnails/7.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)
![Page 8: Founder Leadership & Communication Workshop - 12/09/14](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103019/55c17862bb61eb6d158b468a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Vulnerability“I define vulnerability as the
expression of uncertainty, risk, and
emotional exposure.
![Page 9: Founder Leadership & Communication Workshop - 12/09/14](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103019/55c17862bb61eb6d158b468a/html5/thumbnails/9.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 10: Founder Leadership & Communication Workshop - 12/09/14](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103019/55c17862bb61eb6d158b468a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Benefits of Self-Disclosure/Vulnerability
1. Build connection, trust2. Repair distortions3. Avoid “progressive impoverishment”

Feedback & Influence
![Page 22: Founder Leadership & Communication Workshop - 12/09/14](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103019/55c17862bb61eb6d158b468a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
What we mean by “feedback”1. Not formal performance reviews2. Not teaching functional skills3. Discussions about interpersonal
interactions and working relationships
![Page 23: Founder Leadership & Communication Workshop - 12/09/14](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103019/55c17862bb61eb6d158b468a/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.
(tie it back to feedback now – you’re a
threat the minute you walk in the room.
Then you say “can I give you some
feedback?” YIKES! Here’s how

So… how do we communicate feedback while minimizing defensiveness?
![Page 35: Founder Leadership & Communication Workshop - 12/09/14](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103019/55c17862bb61eb6d158b468a/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

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 37: Founder Leadership & Communication Workshop - 12/09/14](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103019/55c17862bb61eb6d158b468a/html5/thumbnails/37.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!

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.
