Feedback or Advice

Don’t ask people for feedback.

It only makes them judge you or cheer you on.

“Whats your feedback?”

“Oh, it’s fire duuuude!”

Ask them for advice. Such as one thing you could change or improve upon if they had the chance.

“What’s one thing I could improve on?”

“Well, dude I think you need to upgrade your mic a little. It’s sounds ok, but the audio quality is lacking a little”

“You need to condense it a bit more bro, I lost interest half way through”

“Maybe change the angle, it makes you look fatter than you actually are”

Seeeeee way better feedback, instead of some cheap compliment.

Fuck Brainstorm meetings

They don’t work. Apparently.

People are shy. People are nervous, introverted or have low self esteem.

Which leads to few ideas or bandwagoning the first one.

Let people come up with ideas on their own (in private). Then the leader shares them anonymously to the group.

Then the group builds on the ideas or moves them to the side.

Listen!

The best leaders LISTEN!

Shut up!

Nelson Mandela let everyone at the table speak before he spoke himself. Gathering knowledge equally from all members present.

Leaders intimidate their followers if they come into the hearing guns blazing.

Followers are scared, nervous, afraid of judgment, anxious of bad feedback.

Let them be heard. Let them open up

That’s how you truly discover all the gold nuggets in your group.
