## Resource

Lucas and Luna tackle one of the hardest leadership challenges: getting your team to tell you the truth. Lucas shares a story from Bridgewater Associates where Ray Dalio's radical transparency backfired—employees nodded along in meetings but vented secretly in chat logs. They break down why direct 'how am I doing' questions don't work, and offer four practical alternatives: the last-ten-percent question, the anonymous pulse check, the skip-level meeting, and the 'start-stop-continue' exercise. Luna brings in data from a 2023 Wiley survey that found 63 percent of employees withhold critical feedback from their manager for fear of retaliation. The episode includes a warm, natural donation segment about listener support keeping the show ad-free. No theory—just specific scripts you can use in your next one-on-one. #Feedback #HonestFeedback #Leadership #Management #RadicalTransparency #PsychologicalSafety #BridgewaterAssociates #RayDalio #SkipLevelMeeting #AnonymousPulse #OneOnOne #ManagerTips #TeamCulture #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TheManagersHour #PeopleManagement Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
