Ep 22: How Top Leaders Give Feedback (And What You’re Doing Wrong) | Stop Managing, Start Leading Podcast

Feedback is one of the most misunderstood leadership tools. Get it right, and you build confidence, performance, and trust. Get it wrong, and, well, you’ve probably experienced what happens. Defensiveness, disengagement, doubt, dysfunction, diminished drive, and to top it all off, learned helplessness. Most leaders think they’re giving constructive critique, but in reality, their feedback is either too weak, too vague, or too harsh.
