“ VULNERABILITY IS
THE BIRTHPLACE
OF CONNECTION. ”
BRENÉ
BROWN
Feedback & Influence
Photo:RobbieGrubbs
Can I give you some feedback?
My Feedback Dilemma
“You’re not handling the claims project very well.
Your spec is disorganized and incomplete. And
because of that, we’re now at a point where the
feature won’t get done on time.
I need you to fix the spec like we talked about so
we can get the project on track.”
My Feedback Dilemma
You’re not handling the claims project very well.
96%Chance of
Defensiveness
Harsh Startup
So… how do we communicate feedback
while minimizing defensiveness?

Benefits of Self-Disclosure / VulnerabilityHow to Give Effective Feedback
• Focus on specific, observable behavior
When you do [x]…
• Describe the impact of that behavior on you
I feel [y]…
• Ask about the other person’s motives or
intentions
Can you tell me what’s going on for you?
Stay on your side of the net!
Better feedback for Bob?
• Focus on specific, observable behavior
You didn’t change the spec like we discussed
• Describe the impact of that behavior on you
I’m feeling concerned about the project and getting it done
on schedule
• Ask about the other person’s motives or
intentions
Can you tell me what’s going on for you?
Benefits of Self-Disclosure / VulnerabilityLet’s try another example…
1. You’re not very approachable.
2. When I asked you for time off last week, you didn’t respond
very well. You’re not very approachable.
3. When I asked you for time off last week and you said “oh
man, the team really needs you right now,” I felt guilty for
asking, even though that time off is important to me. And I’ve
noticed I’m more hesitant now to approach you with
questions or requests.
Benefits of Self-Disclosure / VulnerabilityHow to Give Effective Feedback
When you do [x]…
I feel [y == emotion] that / like
And my story is [z].
Can you tell me what’s going on for you?
Social situations ≈ Physical threats
Threat Response
Benefits of Self-Disclosure / VulnerabilityThe Setup
Soft Start
– Do not use praise to buffer criticism (“The Sandwich”)
– Do emphasize mutual goals & positive intent:
“My intention is…… / This matters to me because…”
Exercise #4: Complimentary Feedback
Think of one thing your coworker does that
you really appreciate
1. Describe the behavior as specifically as
possible
2. Describe the impact the behavior has on
you
#1 Factor for Happiness
on the Job:
Feeling appreciated
-- 2014 BCG/The Network survey of 200K employees
Benefits of Self-Disclosure / VulnerabilityBuilding a culture of appreciation
1. Create a space for it
2. Lead by example
Benefits of Self-Disclosure / VulnerabilityLast Reminder
Stay on your side of the net:
When you do [x]…
I feel [y]…
And my story is [z].
Can you tell me what’s going on for you?
Use the Vocabulary of Emotions.

Notas del editor

  1. ***feelings & emotions music has treble and clef 1. if you only have cognition and words without feelings, you don't have the full score, the full story 2. most of the time, people are "leaky" -- however they are feeling, they are emoting non-verbally. incongruence btwn words v behavior comes at the expense of credibility. therefore want congruence (so you dont want *only* thoughts or *only* feelings -- you want to communicate both) 3. "there's no room for feelings in business" -- is inspiring pple important in business? how do you inspire people without making them feel something?  important for motivation  Suppressing leads to lack of congruence – we are leaky.
  2. I’d like everyone to pause for a moment.  In your 2-min introduction, think about what you chose to say… and what you chose not to say. Out of your entire life – your past, your future, your personal life, your hobbies, everything there is to know about you as a person…  what did you choose to share.  Why? pause  What decisions did you make about what was relevant or interesting or safe to share with this person in this context? Now you’re going to introduce yourself again… and this time I want you to step outside of your comfort zone and share something you didn’t the first time. Imagine my hand on your back gently encouraging you to challenge yourself a bit.
  3. 1:21- 1:21
  4. Why is feedback scary? Might hurt person’s feelings if they knew how I feel? If I tell them how I really feel, they might tell me how they really feel?

  8. Feedback is scary, we’re sharing new information with someone that might change their understanding of their behavoural landscape, of our relationship, of themselves. So we need to talk a bi about threat response. In our next workshop, which doesn’t exist yet, we’re going to go more deeply into how it turns out these brains of ours actually work and what that implies for interpersonal relationships in general and startup life. But for now, the quick thing to know is that most higher order reasoning, executive function, empathy and social relationship, all exists in a thin layer on top of what is basically a reptilian brain. And that reptilian brain basically sits there asking the question over and over again – am I safe? Am I safe? And if the answer is yes, it sort of allows higher order things to happen.
