But there's a lot of talk and research coming out about healthy tensions between colleagues. We tend to avoid these difficult conversations, but by approaching them with the sense that I care about you. It's all about coming there, giving feedback and showing that you care.

But there's a lot of talk and research coming out about healthy tensions between colleagues and how that can even strengthen the feeling of emotional safety. We tend to avoid these difficult conversations, but by approaching them with the sense that I care about you and this is why I'm giving you this feedback, I love you. Even if you're that close, you see that with sports teams, you know, love is passed around. So approaching these healthy tensions, not just giving feedback for the sake of giving feedback, it's all about coming there, giving feedback and showing that you care.

So I ask, how do you think that you can invite healthy tensions into your day to day within yourself, within others? And it doesn't mean just always giving feedback. It can be opening the door for potential feedback for you, receiving feedback from others. I often do that with another contributor on here, JC is. I ask him for feedback on a lot of things. So it's inviting the healthy tension, allowing that to happen and allowing a place where that can be safe for everyone.
And it starts with establishing that relationship and showing that you care beforehand.
