Better feedback

You don’t care!

It just seems as if you don’t care.

When you are late in the morning, I feel like you don’t care.

When you are late in the morning, I feel frustrated, as I get to question your commitment.

The four statements all say the same thing. The way this is done, though, is extremely different. Only the last one opens the listener to what comes next.

And since we too easily tend to project our feelings on others’ behaviours – by judging the things they do under the lens of our own situation -, we need to practice how to give better feedback.

Thanks Ed Batista for the reminder.
