Interpreting Feedback on Your Leadership
On this page
Tip
Have you ever gotten inconsistent feedback about your leadership style? For example, one person says that you’re a micromanager, while someone else feels they don’t get enough of your attention. Don't dismiss these mixed messages. Approach them with curiosity to interpret what’s going on.
First, identify your intentions as a leader and ask whether they’re clear to your team. A gap between your intentions and impact may be what’s triggering people’s responses.
Second, figure out who brings out your best and worst qualities — and why. Are you unknowingly favoring one set of colleagues at the expense of others?
Finally, be intentional about your decision-making, rather than reflexively acting on old assumptions. To become a more consistent, self-aware leader, you need to be mindful of what’s actually happening in front of you.

🇨🇳 解读对你的领导力的反馈
关于你的领导风格，你得到过不一致的反馈吗？ 例如，一个人说你是一个微观管理者，而另一个人觉得他们没有得到你足够的关注。 不要忽视这些混杂的信息。 带着好奇心接近他们，解释正在发生的事情。
首先，明确你作为领导者的意图，并询问你的团队是否清楚。 你的意图和影响力之间的差距可能是引发人们反应的原因。
第二 ，找出谁能展现出你最好和最坏的品质——以及为什么。 你是否在不知不觉中偏袒了一群同事而牺牲了其他人？
最后，要有意识地做决定，而不是条件反射式地按照旧的假设行事。 要想成为一个更稳定、更有自我意识的领导者，你需要留意你面前发生的事情。
