It's so interesting we provide training and support for this providing coaching yet we seem to lose sight of the fact people receiving coaching & feedback also need to be trained & supported in their reception. What a great opportunity. Here are two charts we did from polls on linkedin that are quite revealing:
Poll # 1: If employees were taught how to accept feedback & coaching as well as attended practice sessions to do so what would be the result?
Would help tremendously 62%
Would help a great deal 25%
Would somewhat help 8%
Would have little impact 4%
Poll # 2: If leaders were taught / retrained how to provide strength-based & constructive feedback what would the effect be on the workplace culture?
Would be tremendously helpful 76%
It would be helpful 22%
Somewhat helpful 3%
Would have little impact 0%
