Employment figures are continuing to rise across Australia and the increase in roles to fill has afforded job seekers the luxury of being more selective about where to work. Although this is a motive, organisations need to ensure they are continually building and driving a compelling employer brand, regardless of strengthening economic conditions.

As someone who has lived in big cities and regional areas I can tell you there is a big difference in the way you garden depending on your location.

And given that most of us are decent human beings, add to that a sense of not wanting to upset the other person. So, when faced with a difficult message, our inclination is often to : avoid it, project it onto someone or something else, hope it will get better, bundle it up with a heap of other things, or any other form of indirect communication.

Here's what I have learnt about leadership.

So the thing about feedback is that we often think of our own discomfort in giving it. It feels awkward, uncomfortable. We worry what the other person might think of us. What they might say about us. Whether they might get angry. How they'll react.
