Are You Ready To Give Feedback? Introducing The Feedback Readiness Checklist By Dr Brene Brown

Kingston Human Capital
Each month our team review the latest and greatest Leadership Books. We bring you a sure-fire synopsis on the key Leadership takeaways.

Dare to Lead, by Dr Brene Brown

 

Dare to lead is for leaders who are looking to develop courageous cultures. Dr Brown defines Brave Leaders as those who are willing to undertake Mission-Critical leadership practices like:

 

  • Courageous leadership behaviours
  • Hard Conversations
  • Operationalising your organisations values
  • Giving and Receiving Feedback – the feedback readiness check list

 

The book is full of great Leadership tips and techniques. But it was Dr Brown’s “feedback readiness check list” which was a key take-away for us.



Giving Effective Feedback:

 

How often would you run through a feedback readiness checklist before you deliver important feedback to one of your team members? As Leaders we know it’s important not to rob our teams of development by not giving them feedback. But how often do we check-in to establish if we are in a ‘ready to give state’ before we give it?

 

Check out Dr Brown’s feedback readiness checklist below.
