Query:
Dear Friends Authority Magazine is starting a new series about
How To Give Honest Feedback Without Being Hurtful Full details
here: https://bit.ly/2UR7vNa
When you are a boss or a manager, being able to give honest and
direct feedback is critical. But how do you give feedback
without being hurtful or demoralizing? How do you give direct
and honest feedback and still create and maintain a positive,
upbeat, and healthy work culture?
We would like to interview CEOs, executives, business leaders,
managers, authors, and thought leaders who can discuss how to
give honest feedback without being hurtful.
The interview series will have two stages.
All of the full interviews will be published in Arianna
Huffington's Thrive Global and Authority Magazine, and they will
look like the following:
https://medium.com/authority-magazine/constant-contact-cmo-john-orlando-why-you-need-to-hug-and-believe-what-your-data-is-telling-you-fbb1e3672d91?source=friends_link&sk=2ecc2724a3829e66cb08a3b30598bfa6

https://thriveglobal.com/stories/social-impact-heroes-how-amber-zenith-emily-nelson-have-helped-to-reignite-a-love-for-aerobic-workouts-across-north-america/
In addition, after the all interviews are completed, an article
featuring the ideas from the best interviews will be submitted
to Buzzfeed and Entrepreneur.com, like these we have done:
https://www.entrepreneur.com/slideshow/345415

The Buzzfeed article will look similar to this:

Individuals who are accepted for this series will be featured in
at least 2 - 4 articles.

primary leads for the series. Most interviews will not require
phone interviews and can be done by email. Requirements:
