Ouch that Hurt: The Neurobiology of Feedback
How Feedback Can Be Dangerous to Your Health
Did you know that the brain processes poor feedback as if it were physical pain?
Everybody knows that giving and receiving feedback is critical to developing effective leaders. When feedback is delivered poorly, research tells us that the neurobiological effects of feedback can cause absenteeism, decreased job satisfaction, depression and even coronary heart disease!
But here’s the good news… You can teach leaders techniques that eliminate negative effects of feedback.
Join us January 27th for a FREE WEBINAR presented by Kenneth M. Nowack, Ph.D. to learn how leaders should provide feedback without the “ouch”, backed by latest evidence-based research about the neurobiology of feedback.
You’ll learn:
- Why leaders don’t see themselves accurately
- How clueless leadership creates “Killer Bosses”
- Why toxic relationships may be harmful to our health and how our brain is wired for survival
- What the latest research tells us about performance and feedback
- Which methods of feedback decrease team effectiveness and harm interpersonal relationships
