Leadership Competency: Self Management
 
Skill: Soliciting Feedback

Ken Blanchard

 

Enhance:

 

1. Please remember that you are not the expert in who you are and what you project. The people around you (key stakeholders) have a much better idea of your style and approach than you have.

 

2. Formal feedback systems and assessments have significant value but informal feedback loops have as much, if not more value.

 

3. During your regular one-on-one meetings with team members, begin asking them how you are doing.

 

4. Be persistent and include this query for several meeting cycles in a row. Because of team member uncertainty and the newness of the request, the first few times you ask for feedback, you will not receive much of value or some patronizing responses.

 

5. Change the way you phrase the feedback question. Try asking if there is anything you could do differently or if there is anything you could do better to help the team member.
