Why?
They see things we don't yet see.
They have wisdom we may not yet possess.
They speak the truth even when we are not prepared to hear it.
As a sales leader I have hosted many meetings. During a recent conversation with my coach, I shared with her the contrast between the feedback I received from my immediate supervisor and those who report directly to me.
The feedback from the team I lead was general and positive.
I never really though about the difference. Feedback was feedback...right?
Nope.
When we want feedback we will ask for observations that will lead to improvement.
Ex. What aspect of my presentation could have been better?
When we want validation we will ask: How did I do?
Now I understand. I will be better.
Thank you Coach!
