Teachable Part 2 – indirect feedback<\/h2>\n

Meltdown. You know the kind\u2014the kind that stops rehearsals. At a Sunday-morning-only rehearsal, no less. Apparently I frustrated one of the musicians. The first indication was her tears. I know\u2026it\u2019s a gift to be this good at reading people.<\/p>\n

Her emotions were anything but \u201cindirect,\u201d but they only told me of the immediate issue. There was an underlying problem that I didn\u2019t [want to] see. After this, I knew I had to.<\/p>\n

Over a $5 footlong after church, I asked my trusted friend and drummer, \u201cAm I that hard to follow?\u201d His caps lock \u201cYES\u201d couldn\u2019t have come any quicker unless he was psychic. In my rush to cover all that needs to be covered in a rehearsal that\u2019s already too short, I tend to jump ahead. And back. And to a different song. I considered making excuses and passing blame, but what\u2019s that determination of leadership, \u201cLook back and see who\u2019s following\u2026\u201d?<\/p>\n

So now I\u2019m trying to look at what people aren\u2019t saying. Because they say a lot when they \u201caren\u2019t saying.\u201d This is huge for leadership. But also for musicians who weekly rub up against each other. Look at what your leader\/teammate\/pastor is NOT saying: you may just learn something.<\/p>\n

Read Ephesians 4:2-3<\/h2>\n

Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.\u00a0Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.<\/em><\/p>\n

Discuss:<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. How does Ephesians 4:2-3 apply to us looking for indirect feedback?<\/li>\n
  2. What are some non-verbal cues others may give us to that let us know that we\u2019ve messed up?<\/li>\n
  3. Everyone has blind spots. What are some ways to uncover our own blind spots?<\/li>\n
  4. Being teachable requires looking for other\u2019s non-verbal cues in order to grow. Not everyone will say what they\u2019re thinking. However, when it comes to giving feedback, it is healthier to give it directly rather than indirectly.
    \nDo you agree with this statement, why or why not?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
