It’s a lot easier to lead by example than it is to change other people’s behavior. If you want to encourage feedback between the people on your team or at your organization, you’re going to have to create an environment where people feel safe and encouraged to give real feedback. On this episode of the Radical Candor podcast, Kim, Jason and Amy talk about how to encourage feedback between others so you can keep this whole Radical Candor thing going after you've read the book, listened to a keynote or taken a workshop.
Listen to the episode:
Encouraging feedback is the last step in the Radical Candor Order of Operations, and if you’re not familiar the Order of Operations is:
It might never feel 100% safe or comfortable or risk-free to give feedback to others. However, it's up to managers to create an environment in which the rewards outweigh the risks, one where the rewards are as visible as the risks.
Amy Edmondson calls this psychological safety — feeling heard and acknowledged versus fearing you will be retaliated against. The best way to create psychological safety is to actively and continually solicit feedback from others, and reward the feedback when you get it.
Listen to the episode for tips, stories and examples of how to encourage feedback.
Improvising Radical Candor, a partnership between Radical Candor and Second City Works, introduces The Feedback Loop (think Groundhog Day meets The Office), a 5-episode workplace comedy series starring David Alan Grier that brings to life Radical Candor’s simple framework for navigating candid conversations.
You’ll get an hour of hilarious content about a team whose feedback fails are costing them business; improv-inspired exercises to teach everyone the skills they need to work better together, and after-episode action plans you can put into practice immediately.
