This Is The Kindest Way To Give Hard Feedback – EP. 71

from The Inspired Healthcare Leader | Healthcare Leadership, Work-Life Balance, Managing Change · host Mara Ergas-Zabari RN, PhD - Healthcare Leader, Consultant, & Researcher

Most healthcare leaders don’t avoid hard feedback because they’re weak leaders. They avoid it because they care deeply about people. But what if avoiding the conversation is actually causing more harm than having it? In this episode I explain why the kindest leaders are the ones willing to tell the truth clearly, compassionately, and directly. You’ll learn how to give difficult feedback without sounding harsh, damaging relationships, over-explaining, or carrying anxiety about the conversation for days beforehand. So, if you’ve ever delayed a difficult conversation because you didn’t want to hurt someone’s feelings, this episode will help you approach it in a way that feels both deeply human and deeply effective.
