@amandanat A *big* yes. Every time I write about this, I get pushback.
If feedback is such a gift, how come so few people are asking for it? That said, it could become one, if given correctly (and no, I don't just mean having good intentions. I mean communicating it correctly)
@LisaDNews@ratemyskyperoom@NewsHour RIP Rocky. Every time he showed up during those Covid days, he brought an instant smile. Sending you good thoughts Lisa. (Our dog died last year and it sucked. It still does. But I've learned the love doesn't go away, it only gets deeper with time) Be well
@jayclouse I've always found you to be a trustworthy person. (We've never met besides a random email/twitter exchange). 2 reasons come to mind. 1) Your curiosity β The way you ask questions tells me you care and 2) You're always sharing what you're learning. Not to brag but to serve.
@perfexcellent All leadership has nuance.
There's absolutely a place to tell and a place to ask. Heck, I can also give you reasons to "micromanage".
At the risk of a cliche, there's no one-size fits all.
@jayclouse@IamAndrewEllis This is like a very engaging movie trailer. You come across clear, the music is appropriate (not intrusive) and it leaves the person wanting more.
Very cool.
@gaganbiyani Hi.
The same person who loves video for one thing, might like to read something else for another thing.
Learning seems contextual based on subject, complexity, passion etc.
(fwiw, spent two decades building L&D functions from small to bigco)
@jayclouse Thx for sharing Jay.
As someone who genuinely admires your work, it's helpful to see these lessons. Thank you for sharing.
(PS: When I read this and see how well you do, it makes me want to root for you *even* more...)
