Say It Skillfully™ - Constructive feedback… how to “manage up”, less email nagging and much more!

Say It Skillfully™ is a show that helps you to benefit from Molly Tschang’s expert guidance on the best possible ways to speak your mind at work in a positive and productive manner. In Episode 16, Molly’s 1st caller Jennifer—several years into her job in financial services—asked about “managing up"... how to provide feedback to people in more senior positions. Scott inquired about a past experience with an African nonprofit and navigating tricky culture and ethical waters (16:30). Gail was keen to beat the “bad habit” of people failing to respond to emails and needing to "nag" (31:30)! Finally, Bill was upfront about how decisions on layoffs aren’t as well informed as one might hope, and shared how he successfully took a very different tact (40:00). Molly shared thoughts on Arianna Huffington’s NYT piece, “How to Give Compassionate Feedback While Still Being Constructive” (2/24/20). Join the show for these topics and learn to navigate work while being invaluable and true to yourself.
