Kit Barber's mentor once asked him whether he wanted to hear what he wanted to hear or what he needed to hear. That question shifted how he gives feedback. He now uses it with his team and clients to cut through pleasantries and build real trust.
I can tell you the exact moment my leadership changed forever. A mentor asked me, Kit Barber, do you want me to tell you what you want to hear or what you need to hear? This hit me like a punch because I realised I've been having nice feedback for years and that never actually helped me grow. Now I use this line with my own team and my clients. It clears the air instantly, it creates trust, it opens the door for clarity, And clarity, as we know, is kindness.
