Dont Deny, Defend or Delay

In today's episode, listen in as Colin quickly talks about denying people the opportunity to voice their opinions, and why you should do your best not to do this. Don’t get defensive when criticised, when issues are raised. Taking it personally and going in defensively will ensure you will not see any situation or scenario from any perspective other than your own. Make your business safe, for people to talk out. You will only benefit from feedback.   Don’t Deny. Don’t defend. Don’t Delay   As always, get in touch and let Colin know your comments and feedback!   ABOUT THE HOST  Colin Nottage   ‘Making health and safety as important as everything else we do.’   This is the belief that Colin is passionate about and through his consultancy Influential Management Group (IMG) is able to spread into industry.
