The king is reflecting on the baker’s competency. He wants the baker to be more discerning in his choice of ingredients. He also wishes to attach the baker more closely to the Royal Court. So he calls the baker in for a feedback conversation. The king and the baker are sitting across from one another. In the close-up we see the king’s left hand, as he indicates his rating of the baker’s ability to pick quality ingredients on a scale from 1 to 10. Together, they make a development plan, shake hands and part on good terms.
"Once upon a time, there was a man who raised others up with inspiring feedback."
The notion of inspiring feedback
The ability to involve and engage others is crucial to any leader or parent. Engagement draws on the team’s full diversity to ensure shared ownership, cocreation and broader solutions. The communication goes from a one-way advisory flow to an open, involving and explorative approach that activates all the participants’ creativity and desire to implement the outcome of the process.
