ENRICHING OTHERS
BECOME A PEOPLE DEVELOPER
THE ART OF BALANCING CRITICAL FEEDBACK AND ENCOURAGEMENT
Hop in for a quick spin as we navigate ENRICHING OTHERS! On one end, our 'less inclined' leaders are task-focused pit crews, possibly overlooking others' growth. In the middle lane, our 'moderate' enrichers are supportive roadside attendants, offering advice but could benefit from asking more questions. Finally, in the fast lane, we meet our 'more inclined' enrichers - empathetic tour guides cheering on everyone, but need to balance affirmation with timely, constructive feedback. Enjoy the enriching ride! |
Balancing critical feedback and encouragement is a delicate art that requires self-awareness and a deep understanding of human nature. Effective leaders must be able to understand the different approaches to feedback and adjust their style to meet the needs of the individuals they are leading.
People who are less inclined toward enriching others are often more focused on tasks and results. They may appear distant, indifferent, or even dictatorial when offering feedback. Their lack of awareness and capacity to connect with others may result in their feedback appearing overly direct or demanding. |
As a result, they may find themselves struggling to delegate tasks and give their team members opportunities to grow.
On the other hand, people who are moderately inclined toward enriching others are more caring and supportive. They celebrate the progress of others and are quick to offer advice and instruction. However, they may also become preoccupied or consumed with different affairs, which can make them less effective as coaches or mentors. With practice and awareness, they can become very effective in guiding and encouraging others while avoiding the trap of controlling, demanding or overprotecting them.

People who are highly inclined toward enriching others are understanding and empathetic mentors. They are genuinely interested in helping others to reach their full potential and are adept at "cheering on" and affirming strengths. Their messages are often favorable and supportive. However, they must be mindful of giving timely and constructive feedback to help their team members grow. By balancing critical feedback and encouragement, these individuals can become effective leaders who inspire high performance and foster a positive work environment.
In a nutshell, the art of balancing critical feedback and encouragement requires self-awareness, empathy, and a deep understanding of human nature. Effective leaders must be able to adjust their feedback style to meet the needs of the individuals they are leading and help them reach their full potential.
