KEY POINTS:

• Vertical and Lateral communication: their definitions, differences, benefits, and disadvantages
• What you can do to improve your feedback & communication 
• Questions to ask yourself before you provide feedback 
• The importance of compassion when giving feedback 

QUOTABLES:

“Radical transparency helps bring everyone along the journey, even if the feedback you're sharing, if the new initiative that's happening, if there's some change in management – doesn't necessarily mean that everyone's reaction is going to be good, and that's okay. What's important is that people are in the know.”

“Sometimes, feedback needs to be communicated through several different channels. Not every piece of feedback has to be attributed to the person. It can be generalized feedback.”
