When examining your bad first draft, you should question what you know about yourself, the other person in the story, and your hidden emotions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>What you know about yourself: <\/strong>What do you <em>actually <\/em>know about the situation? What parts are you imagining?<\/li><li><strong>What you know about the other person: <\/strong>What assumptions are you making about the other person? What questions can you ask them for clarification?<\/li><li><strong>What you know about your hidden emotions: <\/strong>What is under the surface of my reaction? Are there insecurities or biases contributing to my story?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Secondly, you need to talk about your bad first draft in order to reveal the biases that are making you insecure at work. <\/strong>In this step, it\u2019s helpful to use the phrase, \u201cThe story I\u2019m telling myself\u2026\u201d This lets you express your feelings while inviting the other person to tell their side of the story. This step untangles the story, leaving just the truth\u2014either your failure is imagined or exaggerated, or it becomes a concrete problem you can now address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, you suggest an idea in a meeting and notice that your colleague Anne looked at another colleague before rejecting your idea. You assume they\u2019ve been talking about you behind your back, and think your ideas are stupid and not worth discussing in meetings. After the meeting, you say to Anne, \u201cYou looked at Cheryl before you said no to my idea. The story I\u2019m telling myself here is that you two have been discussing my ideas and don\u2019t think they\u2019re worth your time.\u201d Her response will probably take one of two forms:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Option A (most likely): She responds, \u201cNot at all. We\u2019re working on a similar idea that we have to keep under wraps for now. I was just making sure she and I were on the same page.\u201d By talking through your story, you get complete information about what happened and realize you invented a worst-scenario connection.<\/li><li>Option B (unlikely): She says, \u201cYes, that\u2019s right.\u201d While this might sting a little at first, ultimately it opens up the opportunity to have an honest discussion about her thoughts.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Handling Your Team\u2019s Bad First Drafts&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Bad first drafts are damaging enough in personal failures, but they become worse in the workplace. Bad first drafts spread easily in work environments, where people tend to believe their own stories and retell them as truth. These stories warp over time, and they make more people insecure at work. Just think of how easily \u201cThere will probably be massive layoffs at the end of the summer. No one told me but I can just feel it\u201d can be repeated and warped into, \u201cThere <em>will<\/em> be massive layoffs in August.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A brave leader recognizes that employers are more likely to become more insecure at work in times of uncertainty, change, and failure and gets ahead of it<\/strong>. You can accomplish this by inviting your team members to share their bad first drafts with you and with one another. This is most effectively done aloud\u2014when incomplete information and worst-case scenarios are expressed, their missing logic becomes apparent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hearing your team\u2019s stories and working with them to separate fact from fiction is an opportunity for you to improve your communication style moving forward. This exercise exposes where you\u2019ve left information gaps in which imaginations and insecurities were able to run wild. Moving forward, you\u2019re likely to continually speak to your team with transparency and give as much information as you can, in order to avoid further bad first drafts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This exercise is also valuable because it presents the opportunity to name and grapple with the problem <em>itself<\/em>, instead of with all the misinformation around it. Instead of dealing with everyone\u2019s fears of layoffs, you can simply say, \u201cIt\u2019s true that our organization will undergo a lot of changes this summer, and it\u2019s normal to be anxious. Currently, there are no layoffs planned and I will keep you updated if that changes.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While this process of untangling bad first drafts will take some extra time on your part, recall that not spending a bit of time addressing your team\u2019s stories now will result in a lot of wasted time fixing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/defensive-behavior-in-the-workplace\/\">defensive behaviors<\/a> in the future.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Using the Courage Toolbox&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you lean into all four courage-building skills in Brene Brown\u2019s <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/dare-to-lead-book\/\">Dare to Lead<\/a><\/em>\u2014facing vulnerability, choosing and practicing values, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-is-trust-earned\/\">building trust<\/a>, and developing failure resilience\u2014you gain control over how difficult situations affect you and stop feeling insecure at work.
