This Episode: `Why It’s Time To Fill Those Buckets`

Lucinda discusses the topic of feedback – how it has changed in the new hybrid working environment, and why we should always seek to create positive, new ways of interacting with our people.

Key Takeaways

We must encourage new ways of communicating with our people, and make sure that we are engendering new and positive cultures of communication.
People expect feedback to be negative. We have created environments where people are wary when it is offered and do not actively seek it out.
Additionally, virtual working has removed many of our informal feedback systems. We no longer have the ability to judge the gist of an interaction through natural means.
We can make feedback less threatening by always fostering a growth mindset. Lastly, we must view any feedback as an opportunity to learn and develop.

Best Moments

‘Feedback can be a game-changer in what we’re trying to accomplish in this hybrid world’

‘It triggers our fight-or-flight response’

‘Feedback is the main way in which we get self-awareness’

‘It’s all about continuous improvement and taking away risk and blame cultures’
