For years, managers have been encouraged to constructively criticize just about everything their employees do in the hopes of improving their performance at work.

They are bombarded with reasons, methods, and technologies to give their employees feedback – constantly, directly, and most of all, critically. And yet, anyone who has been on the receiving end of feedback usually leaves feeling muddled, distorted, and upset.

There are better ways to help employees thrive and excel.

Marcus Buckingham, (LinkedIn profile) will join HBR in a live, interactive webinar, where he Marcus will discuss why participating in “feedbacking” rarely helps people grow and often hinders their development—and he will share what actually works when it comes to helping employees thrive.

Marcus  will also discuss:

• Research that shows why managers can’t reliably rate the performance of others
• What neuroscience reveals about criticism and how it inhibits learning
• Techniques for helping employees achieve excellence

Feedback at its best is good for correcting mistakes—in the rare cases where the right steps are known and can be evaluated objectively.

But if we continue to spend our time identifying failure as we see it and giving people feedback about how to avoid it, we will languish in the business of adequacy.

As the market heats up and the complexity of doing business continues to increase, individuals and organizations are seeking insights that might help them simplify things.

In the past, things were simpler, and everything revolved around profit, process, product, etc.

Prior to the pandemic, organizations focused 80 – 90% on running the business and 10-20% on changing how they do business. In less than 5 years, management focus will be 30% on running the business and 70% on changing the way they do business.

While there are change models out there, following one over the others is not the key to successful change implementation. This webinar will discuss key measures for successful change management that flow from leading change through uncertainties.

Agile, the “new” product development approach started in the 1970s as an alternative to Lean Six Sigma, is now “scaling-up” by reverting to traditional practices like Kanban, Theory of Constraints, Voice of Customer, Kaizen, etc.

Another area that is often included in scaled Agile is Emotional Intelligence. Unlike other Agile practices, stand-up, and meeting facilitation,

Emotional Intelligence is not something that people can necessarily learn in an empiric way. It is a science, a very specialized domain that can’t be easily simplified to the level of knowledge and experience of a specific role.

In this webinar Stelian Roman (LinkedIn profile) gives a Project Manager’s view on how Emotional intelligence can be and is used in practice. It contains examples from the real world of how having Emotional Intelligence knowledge and skills can help to deliver a project.
