You're coaching a senior executive. How can you deliver feedback without triggering defensiveness?
As an executive coach, you're tasked with the delicate responsibility of providing feedback to senior executives, a process that can be fraught with tension if not handled with care. Feedback is an essential tool for growth, but when delivered incorrectly, it can trigger defensiveness rather than reflection and improvement. The key to successful feedback is not just in what you say, but how you say it. By understanding the psychology of feedback and employing tactful communication strategies, you can help executives embrace constructive criticism and use it to their advantage.
