Give feedback regularly
If the first time you deliver hard feedback is in a performance review, you're doing it wrong.
Feedback should be a continuous journey, not a once-a-year surprise.
It should flow freely, fueling growth and improvement.
How can you make feedback a regular part of your work with your team?
Here are simple steps:
π Embrace a growth mindset: See feedback as an opportunity, not an attack. Embrace it with an eye on improvement.
π Create safe spaces: Foster psychological safety, where feedback is welcomed. Encourage open dialogue and ask for feedback on your leadership
π Provide timely feedback: Don't wait for the annual review! Promptly offer feedback, both positive and constructive, as situations arise.
π Actively listen: When receiving feedback, listen actively without defensiveness. Seek to understand and show gratitude. Remember the best thing to say when someone gives you feedback is βThank you.β
Transform your relationship with your team by creating a culture of feedback.
