How often do you ask your team to give really honest feedback?

29/12/2022

If you are like many businesses, the answer could be - not often enough!

According to the book ‘No Rule Rules’, at Netflix it is tantamount to being disloyal to the company if you fail to speak up when you disagree with a colleague or have feedback that could be helpful. After all, you could help the business—but you are choosing not to.

I really love this. It shows a culture of trust, both in the management team and in each other. I often encourage clients to run either an anonymous team survey and/or a 360 survey to find out how their people are really feeling. Sometimes I come up to some very strong resistance in the beginning, usually because they are scared of what they will find out and reluctant to make the changes they know their staff will ask for.

Does your team avoid conflict?

In my experience, most management teams are too 'nice.' Nobody really says what they mean for fear of upsetting one another. Whilst teams that engage in healthy conflict know that it's only purpose is to produce the best possible solution in the shortest period of time. No one takes it personally. Everyone is clear that the business success is bigger than any of the egos in the room!

Teams that fear conflict…
​

😴 Have really boring meetings.
😬 Create work environments where politics and personal attacks are rife.

What book has made the biggest difference to your life this year?

I absolutely love reading and learning new things. Good job really as I have to keep current for my business!

My vote is for a book that's had an incredible impact on my life - The Inside Out Revolution (The Only Thing You Need to Know to Change Your Life Forever) by Michael Neill.

Totally life changing stuff! It gave me a completely different perspective on life and helped me to really see how success and happiness can be effortless. I can't recommend it highly enough!

What about you? What book has changed your life this year?

Happy 90th Birthday Dad!

My dad is 90 on Sunday and he is fitter than most people 20 or 30 years younger, despite having COPD (Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). He's never smoked - the COPD came from years of crawling around in attic spaces full of asbestos for his job as a self employed electrician. ☹️

Dad has always looked after himself. His mantras are 'a little of what you fancy does you good' and 'everything in moderation.' 😀

When he was shielding during lockdown, he created an obstacle course in his back garden. Up and over beer crates, and up and down steps -everyday, he does 10-20 laps of his obstacle course!
