Poor performance happens. Sometimes it might be related to skill, and other times, will. Even in the greatest organization, people are bound to make mistakes. When this happens, feedback must be provided to get performance back on track. Unfortunately, people tend to avoid providing this type of feedback as it is often aversive to them and the recipient. But it doesn't have to be. In this episode, I offer you 7 tips for delivering feedback that helps performance, not hurts.

Want to develop, sustain, or repair any relationship? Some people seem to be engaged in happy relationships, the reciprocal nature of which might be described as magical as each person fulfills their significant other’s needs while simultaneously meeting their own. Many people make earnest attempts at developing and maintaining these types of relationships. And fail. Unfortunately, this can result in severe and debilitating pain that can derail even the best of us. But there’s good news. Successful relationships aren’t the result of magic. They are the result of behavior. Period, end of story. As behavior scientists, we understand that no successful relationship can be achieved without behavior. It’s not luck, not genetics, not money, and not personality. It’s simply...behavior! And not just any behavior, but the right behavior. And you can engage in these behaviors while helping your significant other or those you value to do the same.

If you follow me, you are likely aware that I make numerous posts. Now, 99.9% of the time I receive positive feedback on them. But somebody might take issue with a post every once in a while, which is OK because I'm not perfect, and everybody has their opinion. And that's just what happened last week when I was accused of being "myopic" and "grandstanding" in relation to a post I made about Elon Musk and leadership. Rather than debate online, I thought I would go ahead and invite this individual onto the podcast so we could get to the heart of the matter.
Now, this is usually a way to NOT get on to one of my podcasts! The only reason I invited this guest on and posted it is because I thought the outcome might be helpful in some way for some of my listeners.
