The Challenge: Research with FMRI imaging shows that when we receive feedback our brains are hardwired to detect (and react to) threats. These physiological and emotional reactions can prevent us from processing feedback, and can cause us to view the message as a challenge to our status, autonomy or sense of fairness.
Our Belief: People managers can drive behaviour change more effectively by delivering brain-friendly feedback that minimises any threat response and ensures the recipient is focused on potential rewards. By communicating a positive intention and reducing the emotional charge of the message people managers can ensure team members remain engaged and fully accountable.

-
