Ep 6: Feedback: The Breakfast of Champions

Receiving feedback can be painful, awkward, vulnerable, and excruciating. Yet it can be a beautiful gift. Resilient leaders understand this. In this brief, but value-packed episode, J.R. shares why proactively seeking out feedback is crucial for resilient leaders. He also shares stories about when he went to trapeze school and how he solicits feedback from his sons who to be a better dad and from his students in his seminary courses on a weekly basis. He also gives valuable next step for how leaders can receive helpful feedback.
Here are the five questions to ask 10 friends mentioned in the podcast:

1.     Name one thing I do well without putting any effort into.

2.     What 3 words would you use to describe me?

3.     Name one area of my life where you see room for improvement. Where can I be better?

4.     If you were put in charge of the world’s resources, what would you assign me to do?

5.     What happens when I walk in a room? Good or bad, what shows up when I show up?

Also, see Sheila Heen’s book ‘Thanks for the Feedback’ for a wonderful resource on giving and receiving feedback.
