#175 | Tech Leadership Q&A: Why Does the Same Feedback Land for One Person and Wreck Another?

▶︎ #175 | Tech Leadership Q&A: Why Does the Same Feedback Land for One Person and Wreck Another?In this solo episode of the Leman Tech Leadership Podcast, host Aleksandra Lemańska continues her Q&A series by tackling two questions that go hand in hand: "Why does the same piece of feedback land fine with one person and wreck another?" and "Is it normal to dread one-on-ones with certain people?"Alex's answer centers on communication intelligence, or CQ - the core of her CQ Leadership Method, built tightly to the Process Communication Model. Feedback that doesn't land usually isn't tailored to the person receiving it; it's tailored to how the leader prefers to give and receive feedback. Since there are six personality bases, defaulting to your own style means you are statistically only speaking the language that one out of six people actually needs.She lays out a practical starting point: map your team. List everyone you lead, make a hypothesis about each person's personality base, and note the keywords and communication channels they respond to. Then pick one person and one small adjustment - a different question, a different channel - and test it for a week. This is what builds the CQ muscle: awareness, hypothesis, reps.✉︎ FOLLOW ME ON: ⤵︎LinkedIn: @aleksandralemanskaTikTok: @aleksandra_lemanskaX: @lemanskillsStartup Community Poznan: @startup-community-poznan-scpwww.lemanskills.comJoin Leadership Pulse! https://lemanskills.com/pulse/
