From Debate to Decision: Three Strategies to Keep Feedback Useful | Humanizing Work Show

Описание: Feedback and debate make decisions better—until they don’t. Healthy conflict considers diverse opinions and refines ideas, but there’s a tipping point where feedback can spiral into argument, damaging both decisions and relationships.

In this episode, we share three strategies to keep feedback in the “sweet spot” of productive conflict and show how to recover quickly when things go wrong. You’ll hear real stories—some recent, raw ones—of feedback gone sideways and how we used these tools ourselves to get unstuck.
