Episode 33 - Why do new managers find it so hard to give feedback?

This week I'm talking about feedback at work and why new managers in particular find this the hardest part of their role.For first-time managers, giving feedback can feel like the hardest part of their job. Even if you set aside the fact that critiquing someone's performance can be an emotional and stress-inducing experience, things feel twice as bad for new managers who, let's face it, might be lacking the training they need to give constructive feedback effectively and maybe lacking training in other areas too.In this episode, I take a look at the four ways feedback can go wrong and how you can fix it. Plus, as always I end the episode with a coaching question and this week it's all about how you receive feedback as a leader.Chapters00:00 Introduction01:00 Importance of Feedback for New Managers01:28 Mistake 1: Giving Feedback Without Building Trust03:22 Mistake 2: Avoiding or delaying Feedback05:14 Mistake 3: Over-Delivering Feedback at the Wrong Time07:11 Mistake 4: Failing to Follow UpGet a full transcript of the episode hereDownload the podsheet for this episode to explore this topic further hereConnect with meWebsiteLinkedInInstagramSign up for the 'Work Your Way' newsletter hereCheck out the Ready to Rise 2024 Career Planner here How can I support the podcast?→ Subscribe→ Share this episode with a friend or on your socials→ Leave a reviewI would love to hear your feedback on my podcast.
