The Musings Of An Opinionated Sod [Help Me Grow!]

No ifs. Just butts – so to speak.

Just to be clear, that doesn’t mean people can’t take feedback.

That doesn’t mean people can’t take tough feedback.

That doesn’t mean they’re being ‘woke’.

If anything, it’s how you ensure your feedback is understood rather than just heard.

I say this because far too many people use feedback like a sword and seemingly feel happy about it … which not only means they’re a prick, but that they have deliberately chosen to ignore the recipients feelings as well as where they may be complicit in what’s happened.

Which is why if anyone needs a reminder on why remembering this approach is not good – which is terrifying in itself, but so be it – check out the stories on Corporate Gaslighting.

And don’t think I’m not looking at HR departments for their role in allowing this to happen.

If I need to remind you, your job is to protect the people, not the C-Suite.

Thank god for the good ones out there … the ones who make is a worthy profession rather than the scapegoat department.
