This document discusses techniques for effective communication and feedback within teams. It emphasizes focusing feedback on specific, observable behaviors rather than general criticisms. When giving feedback, one should share how the other person's behavior impacted them, and ask for the other perspective to foster understanding rather than defensiveness. Receiving feedback effectively involves managing one's own reactions and focusing on problem-solving rather than winning. Regular feedback discussions and training teams in these techniques can help create a feedback-rich culture where people feel psychologically safe and appreciated.

We've all been there when communication breaks down. Frustration, irritation, even anger ensues as we ask: How can I get her to see things my way? How can I get him to focus on the real issue? Why is she being so difficult? What if the questions we asked ourselves instead were: What is she really saying? What is the central feeling? What is his implicit hope, intent, or fear? In this workshop, we'll play with these new questions and practice the kind of listening that will help your relationships flourish.

Will it further the
discussion – the
relationship?
Will others
use this
information
against me?
How will
others

“What in
my ‘bubble’
should I
share?”

Psychological safety is ‘‘a sense of confidence that the team will not
embarrass, reject or punish someone for speaking up,’’
‘‘It describes a team climate characterized by interpersonal trust and
mutual respect in which people are comfortable being themselves.’’

Introduce ourselves here
“as founders of this non-profit we’ve been doing this workshop w/ 500ish founders in the past 15months; first time w/ investors”
“We believe these skills help founders build more successful companies”
Our leaders matter
In addition to being financially successful, we think the way we run companies matters -- wiser, more compassionate leaders who are skilled in their relationships w/ themselves & others are important to the world, & SV needs to lead the way - not just in the tech we develop but in how we develop people
In our founder groups this where I usually talk abut how important building a team that brought out the best in each other was for me personally. But I will tell you guys, the real reason we are doing this work is because we believe that leaders matter. We believe we have entered a period where our biggest challenge as a species will be our ability to interact with each other wisely and manage the incredible power we are about to have. And in our corner of the world, you guys are the mentors for that next generation of leaders. So if anything we do here today is useful for you in your capacity as a role model and influencer of future leaders – that will make our day worthwhile.
***feelings & emotions
music has treble and clef
1. if you only have cognition and words without feelings, you don't have the full score, the full story
2. most of the time, people are "leaky" -- however they are feeling, they are emoting non-verbally. incongruence btwn words v behavior comes at the expense of credibility. therefore want congruence (so you dont want *only* thoughts or *only* feelings -- you want to communicate both)
3. "there's no room for feelings in business" -- is inspiring pple important in business? how do you inspire people without making them feel something?
important for motivation
Suppressing leads to lack of congruence – we are leaky.
“…highest-performing managers show more warmth and fondness towards others than do the bottom 25%. They get closer to people, they’re significantly more open in sharing thoughts and feelings than their low-performing counterparts.
Note that they also scored high on “thinking” and a need to have power and influence over others, but that didn’t distinguish them from the bottom quartile.
Individuals (A+ players, etc)
Makeup of group (functional v x-functional, introverts v extroverts)
How they organized their work (goals, waterfall/agile, meeting protocols, etc)
They kept coming across research by psychologists and sociologists that focused on what are known as ‘‘group norms.’’ Norms are the traditions, behavioral standards and unwritten rules that govern how we function when we gather.
So they started looking for and listening for group norms.
Awareness & Regulation
Within the group and with other groups (in relationship to other groups)
-rest of the workshop is on feedback & influence in 2 parts
Johari window is a tool for thinking about how intimacy (knowledge of each other) is shared in a relationship.
In the top left corner is stuff I know about myself or my behaviour and you know about me – open/ pubic.
In the bottom left is stuff I know about myself but you don’t – private.
In the top right is stuff you know but I don’t – my blind spot. A lot of the stuff here is how I am perceived by you, by others. Maybe you think I’m talking to fast and you can’t follow.
And the bottom right corner is that which is unknown to both of us.
If you think about it, this has a lot of parallels to the net model we showed at the beginning – a way of thinking clearly about what’s in your head, what’s in my head and how those might not always be as similar a point of view as we think.
So we already talked about disclosure – a way of expanding our shared information by making more private info public.
Now we are going to talk about feedback – a way of expanding our shared information by sharing our reactions to other people.
Why is feedback scary? [discussion]
-can feel like an attack
-other person can feel controlled
-other person can get defensive, have feelings hurt
It’s “scary” but doesn’t pose any physical threat to us (most of the time!), so there must be something going on our in brains that are making us scared of giving critical feedback
Inarguably true
Disclosure -> empathy
Setting the Context for Feedback
Groundrules Discussion (What groundrules would help me be an effective participant in giving and receiving feedback)
Organize folks so that each person has two people they work with/know well
Give them time to plan feedback with each
Bring them back and do “speed dating” format feedback– two rounds so that every person has done it twice
Facilitator calls out time for switching
"Second conversation" about feedback
Complimentary feedback:
-Single biggest missed opportunity is building stronger relationships
We think positive things about our colleagues, peers, and loved ones all the time but don’t say them
Why do it?
-encourage the good stuff
-there is a relationship “bank account”- Gottman - ideal ratio of positive to negative interactions (5:1)
And you want that bank account to have something in it for when you do have critical feedback to give b/c the context of your relationship does matter for delivering tough feedback.
So let’s talk about constructive feedback
