To Ensure Your Upward Feedback is Received Well, Start with Connection and Intention. You have some difficult feedback for your boss, but you’re not quite sure they’re ready to hear it. It might feel safer to stay silent. After all, they can’t shoot the messenger if there’s no message. But if you stay silent, the problematic behavior will only continue, or even get worse.

When standards in an organization change, the process tends to be so gradual that it’s not readily noticeable. One day you look around and realize that things that used to be unacceptable are now commonplace. Whether it’s a lax attitude toward work and deadlines, gossip and backbiting, or dishonesty, it’s easy for negative behavior to take hold. When norms change, people tend to ask “How did that happen?

My dad and me. Last week marked the 25th anniversary of my father’s death from pancreatic cancer. The picture is of my dad and me at my Bar Mitzvah. He spent his last few days in a wonderful hospice – St. Mary’s Hospice in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Dad was heavily sedated and not very lucid in his last few days, but I still talked to him as if he could hear me.

Most HR leadership philosophies are grounded in two completely faulty assumptions — “change is hard” and “engagement drives results.” Those beliefs have inspired expensive attempts to keep change from being disruptive to employees. What these engagement programs actually do is create and reinforce feelings of victim-hood and leave employees unprepared to adapt to real changes that are necessary for the health and profitability of their enterprises.

To keep up with the development and growth of the leaders I coach, I do an annual assessment of their leadership with my clients and with the people they lead. Last year I heard an interesting bit of feedback in one of these sessions: “At times his passion is great, but most of the time it’s overwhelming.”. I’d never before considered the possibility of a leader’s having too much passion.

There are times when things don’t work out as planned. For example, the relationship that once brought you laughter now brings you tears. You rationalize the breakup by thinking that some things in life aren’t meant to be. I’m always impressed by couples who part ways as friends and end their relationship with dignity and grace. We can learn from the example they set.

Speaking up at work is generally seen as a good thing, and the likes of Harvard’s Amy Edmondson have spoken and written at great length about the value of psychological safety at work. Speaking up could help to expose bias or prejudice, it could promote innovations that go against the status quo, or simply suggest strategies that differ from one’s line manager.

There’s a common formula known as the 7-38-55 rule that indicates only 7 percent of meaning is conveyed through the words we speak, and the remaining percent of meaning is informed by tone of voice (38 percent) and body language (55 percent). As a result, every time we communicate with someone, a vast majority of the information shared is gleaned from what is NOT being said.

Leaders often rely on the skills they trust the most—the things they know they do well. But if you speak to most successful leaders, you’ll discover that they’re constantly pushing themselves in new directions and learning new skills. They make personal development a priority—and if you aren’t doing the same, your leadership is not as effective as it could be.
