Delegating work

This session started on a very high note with Furman asking me a question that I never thought about- What drives Savneet? What are you passionate about? What makes you get up and ready to show up at work every morning?

This was a very good question. Not that I never thought about this before  but the way he asked me think more about this. I came to a realization that I’m motivated by Purpose, Rising a challenge, connecting with others and autonomy.

We also talked about how to providing effective feedback.  Furman elaborated the fact that it is important to provide feedback on what matters in a given situation  and is specific to person for that task/situation.

Important take aways from this session-

• ·       Provide specific feedback that reinforces the behavior
• ·       Use feedback as a OREO COOKIE- the feedback sandwich approach which means starts with a positive comment-then corrective feedback- followed by positive comments
• ·       The most valuable thins from this session, in Furman’s words- AN HONEST FEEDBACK IS THE BIGGEST GIFT YOU CAN GIVE
• ·       Furman emphasis providing honest feedback to any team member at any position. He himself is very open to receiving feedback from anyone.
