Welcome to Moments with Marty, your short,
5
sharp shot of leadership insight to help you to stay on track between our weekly episodes of the No Bullshit Leadership podcast.
6
- Thank you.
7
One of the most common reasons that people give for resigning from their job is that they can't work for their boss.
8
Now we know from our personal experience that there isn't an oversupply of great leaders out there.
9
So, rather than job hopping every six months, we settle for the boss we've got, and we try to find ways to work around their most annoying behaviours.
10
Thank you.
11
But it's only a matter of time before that wears thin, And we decide to take the nuclear option.
12
We resign.
13
Before you push that big red button though, it might be helpful to think about other ways of improving your situation.
14
Perhaps you could find a way to improve your relationship with your boss by giving them feedback.
15
Now over the course of my 30 plus year career in senior corporate roles,
16
I saw lots of situations where a misunderstanding of intent led to catastrophic outcomes in both directions.
17
You'd be amazed at how much unspoken animosity is created simply because of a communication breakdown.
18
You'd also be amazed to hear that most leaders above you in the structure are willing to change.
19
if only they're made aware of the negative impact they're having.
20
But in the absence of any feedback, they'll rationalise.
21
and they'll tell themselves that everything is fine, and if it's not fine, it must be someone else's fault.
22
We all do this to some extent.
23
and your boss is only human.
24
Thank you.
25
I find it useful to separate feedback into two categories.
26
impersonal, and personal.
27
All feedback that goes in a downwards direction In other words, to someone below you in the organisational hierarchy,
28
Well, that can be considered personal simply because of the power imbalance.
29
But if you do choose to give your boss feedback, It's helpful to work out whether the feedback you want to give them is personal or impersonal.
30
Now, impersonal feedback would be things like, influencing their decisions.
31
having input to problems.
32
identifying opportunities for improved performance, managing resource constraints, stuff like that.
33
personal feedback, is about the individual.
34
So for your boss, That would be things like pointing out problems with their behavior.
35
things that they're doing to impair team performance.
36
identifying their leadership blind spots, analyzing their mistakes.
37
It's very different, isn't it?
38
Giving your boss impersonal feedback is tough enough, but giving personal feedback can be what we call a CLM.
39
a career -limiting move.
40
If you want to earn the right to give your boss feedback, there are three important criteria that you have to meet.
41
The first is that your own performance has to be really strong.
42
The second is: you should have already established a foundation of trust by giving valuable impersonal feedback.
43
And thirdly, You have to know what you're talking about.
44
and you have to have thought it through pretty carefully.
45
Before you just blurt out what you think your boss needs to hear, make sure you've earned the right to tell them.
46
It took me decades to achieve what I consider to be an elite ability to deliver feedback.
47
And as part of my life's purpose to improve the quality of leaders globally, I've made all of my insight and wisdom on feedback available to you in our Leadership Beyond the Theory program.
48
I absolutely view feedback as a gift.
49
I welcome any information that I can get that helps me to improve.
50
But on several occasions, someone who reported to me gave me feedback that was entirely off the mark.
51
and because their own performance was questionable, they didn't have the credibility they needed to tell me where they thought I was falling short.
52
um Look, I'm trying to be a better person, but I'm still not going to have someone whose performance is awful telling me what I'm doing wrong.
53
You'll find though, that if you earn the right to give your boss feedback, it's going to improve every aspect of your work situation.
54
For more depth on this insight, have listened to episode 284 of the No Bullshit Leadership podcast.
55
giving your boss feedback.
56
We'll leave a link in the show notes.
57
I really hope you enjoyed this moment and that it gives you that extra little spark to be a no bullshit leader.
58
you

この動画で実践する理由は?

この動画は、上司にフィードバックを与えることの困難さについて深く掘り下げています。特に、個人的なフィードバックがキャリアにどのように影響を及ぼすかを示しており、職場でのコミュニケーションの重要性を再認識させてくれます。この内容は、英語スピーキング練習においても非常に有用です。実際のビジネスシーンを想定することで、よりリアルな会話練習を行うことができ、効果的に英語の発音を良くすることが可能です。YouTubeで英語学習を進めながら、シャドーイングの技術を使って、言葉のリズムや速さに慣れていきましょう。

文法と表現の文脈

  • power imbalance(権力の不均衡): この表現は、フィードバックを行う際の心的障壁を示しています。こうした表現を理解することで、英語の話し言葉の微妙なニュアンスを把握できます。
  • career-limiting move(キャリアを制限する行動): フィードバックが持つリスクを強調するフレーズです。職場での言葉選びの大切さを学ぶことができ、ビジネス会話で必要なスキルを身につける助けとなります。
  • foundation of trust(信頼の基盤): これは、効果的なフィードバックを与えるために必要な前提条件を示す表現です。信頼の重要性を英語で表現できるようになることで、より良い人間関係の構築に繋がります。

一般的な発音の罠

この動画では、特に以下の言葉が発音しにくいポイントとして挙げられます:

  • feedback(フィードバック): 正しいアクセントの位置に注意が必要です。間違ったアクセントは理解を妨げることがあります。
  • animosity(敵意): これは比較的一般的ですが、強く発音する部分があります。音声学的に正しく発音し、感情を伝えるための練習をしましょう。
  • identify(特定する): この単語は多くの子音の連続によって難しく感じられることがあります。正確に発音できるように、慢性的な練習が役立ちます。

これらの発音に気をつけることで、よりネイティブに近い発音を習得しやすくなります。英語シャドーイングを活用して、繰り返し練習を行うことで、発音の精度を上げていきましょう。

シャドーイングとは?英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング(Shadowing)は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的:ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影(shadow)」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
