In this episode, we discuss the importance of learning how to deliver bad news effectively, and the impact that poor delivery can have on individuals and teams. We share personal experiences, emphasising the need for empathy and compassion in tough conversations. We also offer tips on the best ways to prepare and communicate, and how to avoid common pitfalls in the process.Understanding how to deliver bad news effectively is essential, facing the challenges and stress of sharing tough information without guidance can be tricky, but let's not forget the impact on both the person delivering and receiving the news.
