Listening Techniques and Empowering Questions
• What is your social style?
• When do you like people to
approach you and how?
• What do you value?
• How do you like people to
communicate with you?
• How do you make decisions?
• How can people help you?
• What will you not tolerate in
others?
Opening Circle: Icebreaker
• Name
• Job Title
• Social Style
• Just 1-3 words that summarize your owner’s
manual
Think and Read: Owner’s Manuals
Jot down your ideas on sticky
notes, one idea per sticky note
• What are some common
themes?
• What are some potential
points of tension?
• What do you need to keep in
mind to be productive and
happy working together?
Giving and Receiving Feedback
Our co-workers will sometimes
offer hard-to-hear truths
about our behavior or
performance.
And that can trigger a flood of
fear and negative emotion
that blots out the positive
opportunities that the
feedback offers.
Reframe: Feedback is a chance to ….
• Gather perspective
other than your own on
how you are doing
• Course-correct before it
is too late
• Create a plan to
succeed
How do you handle feedback?
• Feedback is a personal attack
• Reject, react with anger or blame
• Don’t hold yourself accountable
Bristler
• Feedback destroys you
• Crumble, cry, apologize
• Feel ashamed of mistake, self-blame
Wallower
• Feedback is a sign that you were misunderstood
• Shut down, don’t engage, avoid
• Dismiss outside perspectives, isolate
Stonewaller
Role Play: Accepting Feedback
• Acknowledge: Thank you so much for your
feedback. That is an important point.
• Can you say more about that?
• Clarifying questions
• Show people their opinions matter and foster
closeness by hearing them out
Giving Feedback: Avoid The Sandwich
Example: Internal
Person A is the team leader and Person B is the team member.
Person B is responsible for doing research interviews, summarizing
the findings, and providing it to Person A before an agreed upon
deadline. Person B waited until the last minute to complete the
task, did a sloppy job, and missed the deadline. Person A needs to
provide some negative feedback to Person B so the performance
can be improved in the future.
Example: Internal
1: Start with One of these Openers
Explain why you are giving feedback
“I’m giving you this feedback on the report project because I have very high
expectations and I know that you can reach them. “
Take yourself off the pedestal
“I’ve benefited a lot from people giving me feedback, and I’m trying to pay that
forward.”
“I’ve been studying great managers, and I’ve noticed that they spend a lot of time
giving feedback. I’m working on doing more of that.”
“Now that we’ve been working together for a while, I think it would be great if we
gave each other suggestions for how we can be more effective.”
Ask if they want feedback
“I noticed a couple things and wondered if you’re interested in some feedback.”
2: Give Feedback
Focus on the situation
Share specific examples of the what needs to be improved
Provide steps or tips on how to improve or suggest a personal goal
Coach to help them follow through
Example: External Stakeholder
Let’s brainstorm some common situations
Role Play Exercise: Giving Feedback
• Explain why you are giving
feedback
• Take yourself off the pedestal
• Ask if they want feedback
• Person A: Give Feedback
• Person B: Receive
Feedback
• Debrief
• Switch Roles/Partners
• Person A: Receive
Feedback
Person B: Give Feedback
• Debrief
Creating Workplace Cultural Norms
Rules of meeting
engagement or “meeting
norms” are stated
standards that refer to
processes, preparation
and communication
practices which can
apply to any meeting.
Examples of Norms For All Types of Meetings
PROCESS PREPARATION COMMUNICATION
Respect everyone’s time by starting
and ending on time.
Only one conversation at one time.
Refrain from side-talk.
Capture off topic items in a ‘parking
lot’ and agree to discuss them later at
a more appropriate time.
Be present with the people you are
meeting with.
Use of technology.
Take bio breaks as needed.
Everyone is responsible for helping to
stay on topic.
Speak up if you feel like we’re getting
off track.
Challenge past assumptions and
sacred cows.
Address conflict head on.
Look ahead to positive action.
Aim for GETGO – good enough to go,
not perfection.
Everyone is responsible for upholding
the norms. Acknowledge if you notice
we are not doing so.
Be prepared and come ready to
engage. Read the agenda and do
any pre-work ahead of time.
Come empowered to make
commitments for your area or
function.
Put aside other topics and work so
you are ready to focus on the
discussion at hand.
Meeting material and agenda
should be sent 24 hours before a
meeting.
Ask questions for clarification to help
avoid making assumptions.
Make sure everyone’s voice is heard.
Balance your participation – speak
and listen. Compute your airtime
Listen actively to teammates without
interrupting others.
Clarify when you are advocating vs
offering an idea.
Say it now, in the room. Avoid
waiting till later to raise an issue.
All voices count.
All opinions are valid, but offer
reasoning behind your thinking.
http://blog.meeteor.com/blog/meeting-norms/
Examples of Norms Specific For Types of Conversations
BRAINSTORMING CHECK-INS/STAFF MEETING DECISION-MAKING
All ideas are good ideas.
Build on the ideas of others. Use
“Yes, and…”; avoid “No, but…”
Defer judgment of ideas during
brainstorming.
Keep resource constraints in mind.
Be concise and to the point.
Be open to feedback.
Share only new information, not
a repeat of old information.
Be sure your information is
accurate.
Acknowledge when you don’t
have an answer but will provide
it after the meeting.
Share celebrations and
challenges alike.
We will use [consensus, consultative,
majority rule, voting] as our decision
making process.
Each person is responsible for
ensuring they understand the options
and arguments before making the
decision.
Be willing to support a team
consensus even if you initially do not
agree with it.
Do not push you ideas on the team
after a decision has been made.
Acknowledge when you are playing
“devil’s advocate” to help test a
decision or idea.
Separate your own personal feelings
from what’s best for the team /
organization.
Rose Bud Thorn
What makes our
meetings effective and
productive?
What is it about our
meetings that makes me
feel we accomplished
something?
What are some practices
we are not doing at
meetings that could
make them more
effective?
What makes our
meetings frustrating or
gets in the way or being
productive?
What is it about our
meetings that makes me
feel like I’ve wasted my
time?
Meeting Reflection: Rose, Bud, Thorn
Meeting Reflection: Wrap Up
• Based on our discussion, each person should
write down their top three meeting norms, one
per sticky note.
• Cluster
• Sticky dot vote
• Reflection
Avoiding Collaborative Overload
Is this familiar?
• Long work week
• Come home to realize
you didn’t get stuff
done
• You start doing solo
work in evenings and
weekends
• You don’t do it because
you are too exhausted
Sarah Cooper
● 15% of organization
time is spent in
meetings
● Four hours a week for
status update meetings
● 11 million meetings a
day
● More than $37 billion
year in unproductive
meetings

  • 8. Opening Circle: Icebreaker • Name • Job Title • Social Style • Just 1-3 words that summarize your owner’s manual
  • 9. Think and Read: Owner’s Manuals Jot down your ideas on sticky notes, one idea per sticky note • What are some common themes? • What are some potential points of tension? • What do you need to keep in mind to be productive and happy working together?
  • 10. Giving and Receiving Feedback Our co-workers will sometimes offer hard-to-hear truths about our behavior or performance. And that can trigger a flood of fear and negative emotion that blots out the positive opportunities that the feedback offers.
  • 11. Reframe: Feedback is a chance to …. • Gather perspective other than your own on how you are doing • Course-correct before it is too late • Create a plan to succeed
  • 12. How do you handle feedback? • Feedback is a personal attack • Reject, react with anger or blame • Don’t hold yourself accountable Bristler • Feedback destroys you • Crumble, cry, apologize • Feel ashamed of mistake, self-blame Wallower • Feedback is a sign that you were misunderstood • Shut down, don’t engage, avoid • Dismiss outside perspectives, isolate Stonewaller
  • 13. Role Play: Accepting Feedback • Acknowledge: Thank you so much for your feedback. That is an important point. • Can you say more about that? • Clarifying questions • Show people their opinions matter and foster closeness by hearing them out
  • 14. Giving Feedback: Avoid The Sandwich
  • 15. Example: Internal Person A is the team leader and Person B is the team member. Person B is responsible for doing research interviews, summarizing the findings, and providing it to Person A before an agreed upon deadline. Person B waited until the last minute to complete the task, did a sloppy job, and missed the deadline. Person A needs to provide some negative feedback to Person B so the performance can be improved in the future.
  • 16. Example: Internal 1: Start with One of these Openers Explain why you are giving feedback “I’m giving you this feedback on the report project because I have very high expectations and I know that you can reach them. “ Take yourself off the pedestal “I’ve benefited a lot from people giving me feedback, and I’m trying to pay that forward.” “I’ve been studying great managers, and I’ve noticed that they spend a lot of time giving feedback. I’m working on doing more of that.” “Now that we’ve been working together for a while, I think it would be great if we gave each other suggestions for how we can be more effective.” Ask if they want feedback “I noticed a couple things and wondered if you’re interested in some feedback.” 2: Give Feedback Focus on the situation Share specific examples of the what needs to be improved Provide steps or tips on how to improve or suggest a personal goal Coach to help them follow through
  • 17. Example: External Stakeholder Let’s brainstorm some common situations
  • 18. Role Play Exercise: Giving Feedback • Explain why you are giving feedback • Take yourself off the pedestal • Ask if they want feedback • Person A: Give Feedback • Person B: Receive Feedback • Debrief • Switch Roles/Partners • Person A: Receive Feedback Person B: Give Feedback • Debrief
  • 20. Rules of meeting engagement or “meeting norms” are stated standards that refer to processes, preparation and communication practices which can apply to any meeting.
  • 21. Examples of Norms For All Types of Meetings PROCESS PREPARATION COMMUNICATION Respect everyone’s time by starting and ending on time. Only one conversation at one time. Refrain from side-talk. Capture off topic items in a ‘parking lot’ and agree to discuss them later at a more appropriate time. Be present with the people you are meeting with. Use of technology. Take bio breaks as needed. Everyone is responsible for helping to stay on topic. Speak up if you feel like we’re getting off track. Challenge past assumptions and sacred cows. Address conflict head on. Look ahead to positive action. Aim for GETGO – good enough to go, not perfection. Everyone is responsible for upholding the norms. Acknowledge if you notice we are not doing so. Be prepared and come ready to engage. Read the agenda and do any pre-work ahead of time. Come empowered to make commitments for your area or function. Put aside other topics and work so you are ready to focus on the discussion at hand. Meeting material and agenda should be sent 24 hours before a meeting. Ask questions for clarification to help avoid making assumptions. Make sure everyone’s voice is heard. Balance your participation – speak and listen. Compute your airtime Listen actively to teammates without interrupting others. Clarify when you are advocating vs offering an idea. Say it now, in the room. Avoid waiting till later to raise an issue. All voices count. All opinions are valid, but offer reasoning behind your thinking. http://blog.meeteor.com/blog/meeting-norms/
  • 22. Examples of Norms Specific For Types of Conversations BRAINSTORMING CHECK-INS/STAFF MEETING DECISION-MAKING All ideas are good ideas. Build on the ideas of others. Use “Yes, and…”; avoid “No, but…” Defer judgment of ideas during brainstorming. Keep resource constraints in mind. Be concise and to the point. Be open to feedback. Share only new information, not a repeat of old information. Be sure your information is accurate. Acknowledge when you don’t have an answer but will provide it after the meeting. Share celebrations and challenges alike. We will use [consensus, consultative, majority rule, voting] as our decision making process. Each person is responsible for ensuring they understand the options and arguments before making the decision. Be willing to support a team consensus even if you initially do not agree with it. Do not push you ideas on the team after a decision has been made. Acknowledge when you are playing “devil’s advocate” to help test a decision or idea. Separate your own personal feelings from what’s best for the team / organization.
