3 Mindset To Have When Having a Hard Talk to Your Subordinates as a Leader

  1. Be Aware of Your Intention.

Be thoughtful by having the right intention in your action to improve the company, not to harm the person personally.

2. Understand Your Role, You’re Hired and Paid to Give Feedback to Your Subordinates Too

You’re hired as a leader to make the team works, too; part of them is given constructive feedback to upgrade the company’s performance and culture.

3. Think about What’s the worst-case scenario could happen after having the conversation

The worst thing would happen if that person whom you talk to take it personally or they disliked you. Will you be okay after that? If your answer is yes and you can tolerate the consequence, then do it anyhow.

Life is short of not taking a risk and fearing something that was coming from our assumptions and belief. Go for it.
