Is Your Team Tip-Toeing

Is your team tip-toeing around you?  Are they holding back candid feedback?

Why?

"The way you respond to being challenged gives people permission to speak-up or encourages them to shut-up." - Dan Rockwell

I suggest that you need to look at yourself and how you behave.  How are you acting that causes your team to tip-toe?  If you want your team to be very candid, how are you acting when they are?  Do you become defensive and start attacking instead of listening and understanding?  Do you shut the comments off?

Take a look at yourself.  Receiving feedback that you may not want to hear takes courage.  It takes even more courage to act on that feedback in a positive manner but you must...at least if you want a highly effective team.
