Speaking truth to power is rarely easy. Some leaders can take genuine feedback others cannot. Until you have a good pulse on the situation, is it really surprising most people default to inauthentic critiques?
- JohnFen 3y agoThis is why I'm very skeptical on the use of 1-on-1 meetings with management as a means to keep a finger on what's going well or badly in an organization. If someone is OK with telling management things they don't want to hear, they'll tell management those things regardless of 1-on-1s.
- solarmist 3y agoThey can’t be done in an in-demand or ad-hoc manner. They need to be consistent over time. If they aren't consistent then it devolves into what you're saying. But if you have a relationship with management then you can build a sense of trust based on the contents of that relationship.
- maxerickson 3y agoIsn't the problem there that management has things they don't want to hear? Like the whole premise of a skip level is the management hearing more things.
