Feedback is a Gift

Many leaders shy away from giving or receiving feedback — afraid it might ruffle feathers or dent their confidence.

Leaders grow by giving and receiving feedback — not avoiding it.
Avoiding feedback doesn’t protect teams — it stunts them.
Growth, clarity, and performance live on the other side of honest conversations.
Create a feedback culture where honesty is appreciated and normalized.

1. Performance improves
2. Trust deepens
3. Communication becomes sharper
4. Teams become more agile and aligned

Break it down like this:
𝙎𝙞𝙩𝙪𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣: Describe the context.
“During yesterday’s client meeting…”

𝘽𝙚𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙞𝙤𝙧:: State what the person did.
“…you interrupted the client a few times mid-sentence…”

𝙄𝙢𝙥𝙖𝙘𝙩: Share how it affected others or the outcome.
“…which made it harder to understand their needs and may have impacted our relationship.”

It’s clear. It’s specific. It focuses on actions and not personality.

Say things like:
✅ “What’s one thing I could improve as your leader?”
✅ “How did my approach in that meeting land with you?”

Think back to your journey:
👉 Who gave you feedback that shifted how you lead, communicate, or think?
👉 Have you thanked them?
Leadership isn’t about being perfect , it’s about being open.
Let’s normalize feedback. Let’s grow together.
