episode The Problem With Feedback artwork

The Problem With Feedback

Feedback. It's difficult to give, difficult to receive, yet absolutely crucial for continual growth. Nearly 70% of employees feel anxious about receiving feedback, and only 2.6% of colleagues step forward to deliver it when it matters most. When feedback isn’t timely or effective, it directly undermines organisational and individual performance.  This Base Camp episode explores the real impact of feedback and provides tools to turn resistance into growth. 00:00 The Challenge of Feedback 09:18 Defining Feedback and Its Importance 16:43 Personal Experiences with Feedback 23:43 How Feedback Impacts The Brain 29:40 The Role of Social Capital and Psychological Safety 39:24 The Skill of Receiving Feedback 43:07 Offering Perspectives rather than Feedback 44:15 Understanding the First and Second Score 46:05 Curiosity vs. Defensiveness in Feedback Reception 48:20 Mindset Matters: Fixed vs. Growth 49:09 Training Teams to Receive Feedback Effectively 52:10 Normalising Emotional Reactions to Feedback 54:18 The Role of Leaders in Feedback Dynamics 56:58 Shifting Focus: From Giving to Receiving Feedback 01:01:05 Navigating Identity and Attribution in Feedback 01:04:24 Generational Differences in Feedback Reception 01:08:45 Leveraging Technology for Feedback 01:17:46 Combining Frameworks for Effective Feedback Delivery Show notes Battling the Demons between our two ears: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2412095/episodes/16124844 [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2412095/episodes/16124844] Games People Play - Life Positions: https://www.amazon.com.au/Games-People-Play-Psychology-Relationships-ebook/dp/B002RI9IPG [https://www.amazon.com.au/Games-People-Play-Psychology-Relationships-ebook/dp/B002RI9IPG] The Second Score: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQNbaKkYk_Q [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQNbaKkYk_Q] Contact: corporate-sherpas.au [https://corporate-sherpas.au]

The Rejection Effect: Why it matters more than you think

Have you ever experienced that sting of rejection? This video explores the surprising science behind the rejection effect – why it hurts so much, and how it impacts us individually and in our organizations. We delve into the neuroscience of rejection, revealing how our brains respond to exclusion as a threat. Learn practical strategies, like affective labeling, to manage your reaction to rejection and build more resilient teams. Discover how addressing rejection isn't just about personal well-being, but also about fostering a culture of connection and collaboration.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
