Thanks for the feedback! I find the relationship dimension can get missed in the more traditional 2x2's you see out there!

Curious; since managing pushback takes a toll, what impact might it have on the high/low scale of both feedback and relationship? Pushback can make us re-assess this! I ended up leaning on Thomas Kilman's conflict styles in a recent conversation.

Yes yes yes! I love this contribution, thank you. In a coaching setting, I’d go deeper with the leader into (a) how they would define value and define importance, and (b) work through their reaction to their categorizations. Some of the reasons why pushback can take a toll is because there’s underlying values misalignment between the giver and receiver, or the receiver might feel they aren’t being seen heard or understood. That toll (and the exploration of it) can offer clarity in terms of whose input really matters to you and why, and clarity in terms of where you might be resisting feedback even when it’s valuable. Lmk if I’m tracking your comment accurately or if you wanted to explore another dimension!

Yes absolutely; you got it. My first instinct was definitely that relativity scale of low/high importance that can unlock unique insights
