Tara Darrow: 作为一名管理者,我经常需要在提供直接反馈和保护年轻同事的心理安全之间找到平衡。我发现“心理安全”有时被年轻一代误用,他们似乎将其作为避免接受负面反馈的借口。我一直在思考如何既能坦诚地指出问题,又能确保他们不会感到受到打击。 我意识到,坦诚的反馈只有在对方相信你的潜力和关心你的福祉时才容易接受。如果我给予严厉的爱,但未被接受,通常是因为我没有建立足够的信任关系,没有明确表达出帮助对方成长的意图。重要的是不仅仅是信息本身,更是信息背后的原因。我会尝试提供建议和反馈的同时,也要承认员工产出质量受限于他们无法控制的因素。 Adam Grant: 心理安全的真正含义是能够进行不舒服的对话,并接受诚实的反馈,将其视为成长的机会。心理安全也意味着能够表达难以接受反馈的感受,并讨论如何更有效地传递和接受反馈。领导者承认自己的错误,可以为团队创造更多的心理安全感,允许团队成员说出他们搞砸的地方,以及需要改进的地方。成为一个善于接受反馈的人,是需要培养的重要技能,因为老板会评估你对反馈的反应是否具有建设性。我们可以进行元反馈,讨论如何接收反馈,以及哪些反馈方式能激励你,哪些会让你沮丧。通过分享过去接受反馈的经历,可以帮助团队成员了解如何改进反馈方式。
