I wish I had discovered Kim Scott’s work earlier in my career. It would have saved me so much time, headache, relationships and wasted effort. You see, I spent so many years giving my opinion at work the wrong way, and consequently experiencing the pain and confusion of it all. Some of my colleagues were courageous enough to tell me that my approach was wrong. Others talked about it behind my back. But no one had really mastered how to coach me through it. Kim Scott has mastered this, as laid out in her book, Radical Candor. The 3 costly mistakes managers make when giving feedback, result in consequences such as: 1. ​Colleagues resisting your great ideas actively or passively through non-support. 2. ​Your team not improving fast enough and consequently missing or barely making your goals. 3. ​Lackluster support for your cross functional projects. 4. Stalled career growth, not on account of poor performance or results. Join me for just 9 minutes to find out if you are making one of the 3 costly mistakes managers make when giving feedback at work.  You’ll also learn an easy technique to figure out, mid-conversation, if you are making any of these 3 mistakes and what to do about it. Then, come back tomorrow for a 4 STEP PROCESS (posted on Tabitha's LinkedIn or Facebook,) that if practiced consistently, will have you giving feedback effectively without alienating the recipient with harsh directness or confusing them with niceness.
