How to Give Constructive Feedback to a Peer

Episode 48 of Manager Mondays with Fexingo dives into a nuanced leadership challenge: giving constructive feedback to a peer, not a direct report. Lucas and Luna explore why this dynamic is uniquely awkward, referencing a 2023 study by the Center for Creative Leadership that found 82% of managers avoid peer feedback altogether. They break down a real-world scenario from a mid-sized fintech where a product lead needed to tell a fellow team lead that their presentations were confusing and hurting collaboration. The hosts walk through a three-step framework: check your intent, frame the feedback as shared goals, and offer a specific observation. They also share a practical phrase template that avoids defensiveness. No theory, just actionable advice for anyone who manages across, not just down. #PeerFeedback #ConstructiveCriticism #ManagerMondays #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Careers #Leadership #Management #WorkplaceCommunication #FeedbackFraming #CenterForCreativeLeadership #Fintech #TeamCollaboration #DifficultConversations #IntentVsImpact #SharedGoals #SpecificObservation #CrossFunctional Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
