Channel Eye has joined forces with Royston Guest, leading Business Growth Coach and CEO/Founder of Pathways Global, in our column, ‘Ask the Business Coach’
A client recently shared a comment from one of their exit interviews: “I wished someone had told me 12 months ago that I wasn’t performing as I might have been able to do something about it”. Having candor – open and honest, frank, direct, straightforward, plain-speaking, calling a ‘spade a spade’, or merely telling it like it is conversations – in your workplace shouldn’t be underestimated.
Three key takeaways
- Build candor in your workplace
- Use inspirational and developmental feedback
- There should be no perception-reality performance gaps
