Project Management Happy Hour

051 - They told me I'm "Too Nice?!" Dealing with inactionable feedback


Listen Later

We love our listeners, and we love to answer your questions! In fact, this episode comes straight from a call for help we received from one of our listeners. She shared with us that her manager told her that she was "too nice" with her project team, and asked us for help in how to deal with this ambiguous feedback.

Most of us have received ambiguous feedback like this. "You need to be tougher," "you are too abrupt," "You need to present better to executives," or something else like that. But how do you turn that vague feedback into action, and gain confidence back?

In this episode Kate shares her personal experience with some recent "inactionable" feedback she received, and shares how she worked through that feedback to achieve a positive outcome.
