CANDID CONVERSATIONS FOR OPTIMAL OUTCOMES

As a leader with direct report responsibilities, developing those under your guidance and providing ongoing feedback is one of your primary objectives. Not everyone has the innate gift of being diplomatic, genuine and calm when giving feedback. The good news is that it is a skill you can learn with patience, practice and experience. By getting comfortable giving feedback, you become the leader other people want to work with.

When asked, most leaders share that they don’t give developmental or constructive feedback because of the fear of not being able to control or anticipate how the other person will respond. What if they react with denial, withdrawal, anger or aggression?

When done well, the benefits of giving feedback:

  • Demonstrate care, involvement and strengthening of relationships
  • Steer or redirect actions and provide clarity about the bigger picture
  • Help define successful behaviours
  • Increase the person’s self-awareness
  • Heighten efficiency and reduce communication misunderstandings

Program Outcomes:

  • Tips for making feedback real, relevant and valuable
  • Learn the steps in the feedback
  • Deal appropriately with emotional reactions
  • Learn the pitfalls to avoid

DISC is a simple, practical, easy to remember and universally applicable model. It focuses on individual patterns of external, observable behaviours and measures the intensity of characteristics using scales of directness and openness for each of the four styles: Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Conscientious. Using the DISC model, it is easy to identify and understand our own style, recognize and cognitively adapt to different styles, and develop a process to communicate more effectively with others.
