"I think many negative stories of feedback experiences at the heart of it is that people are leaving the conversation in some way, feeling that their very identity, Being, strengths, skills, or knowledge, etc. has been attacked. Instead of feeling approached from a perspective of curiosity." - Aaron Tabacco

Quote
“I think as leaders, they control the weather. That's the number one thing I always tell leaders. You are absolutely entitled to your emotions, and you should display emotions because it is who you are and it is authentic to the experience that you're having. We also have to be aware because as leaders, we are extremely visible. Our voices carry more weight than other people who are sitting in different parts of the organization. And so I'm not saying that we need to mask our emotions, but we have to be aware of the impact that our own emotions have. So depending on where the leaders themselves are in that change curve, they have to be aware that this could actually pull people towards that. So if somebody is angry about a change that is occurring, it will most definitely leak onto their teams.” - Nenuca Syquia

They want the beautiful person they fell in love with. They want the beautiful side of them. They know that work is challenging and they want them to release that, but they cannot be the only vehicle of release. That will end up destroying a relationship.’’
