Hi, I am Neena Newberry, and in today's One Thing You Can Do video series installment, I'm going to share a tip with you in less than two minutes. This is modeled after our app, New Lens®, which is full of micro-learning designed to help you elevate your leadership skills. So let's get started.

I hear people complain all the time about getting constructive feedback from their managers when their managers aren't actually demonstrating the behavior that they want them to demonstrate. It can feel very hypocritical. So I want you to take a moment and pause and think about when was the last time you gave some constructive feedback, and how much are you actually role modeling the behavior that you are expecting other people to demonstrate? Whether that's how they're engaging, whether it's them being on time, whether it's managing work-life balance, there is a range of different topics that could come into play. So take a moment, notice whether there's really alignment between what you're telling them to do and what you actually do — because you don't want your feedback to them being undermined.
