Study Notes

Effective Listening

Listening requires not talking and embracing silence, which can be uncomfortable.
Silence in conversations can lead to awkwardness, and people tend to fill it by talking.
As a listener, you can use this silence to your advantage, allowing the other person to fill it and reveal more about themselves.

Delivering Feedback

Feedback is sharing information and perceptions with another person about their behavior and its impact on the organization.
Feedback can be positive or negative, and both are necessary.
Positive feedback is the most effective and should be the first choice.
Employees who receive positive feedback are 30 times more likely to feel engaged than those who receive no feedback.
Positive feedback should be specific, praising behavior that has been observed, and stimulates the release of positive chemicals in the brain.

The Hot Stove Rule

The Hot Stove Rule is a management principle for delivering negative feedback and discipline.
It suggests that negative feedback should be given in a specific, timely, and consistent manner, just like touching a hot stove will always result in a burn.

Courageous conversations require seeking first to understand, then to be understood.
They involve giving and receiving regular and genuine feedback, which sets a leader apart.
