Being the nice guy with the bad news

David Lewis Delivery Manager Deputy

As a manager, giving direct and sometimes negative or difficult feedback to people can be hard. If you’re someone with a lot of empathy this can make it even harder, but with empathy can come trust. This is key as trust can foster an environment where direct feedback and even respectful disagreement adds value to your team.
