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. In this episode of Stop Managing, Start Leading, we’re breaking down the 5 Levels of Feedback. Three will seriously undermine your leadership, one is fine but lacks impact, and one separates great leaders from the rest. If you’re questioning why your feedback isn’t driving real change then watch this episode and by the end, you’ll have a clear, practical framework to make your feedback more effective (without sugarcoating, without micromanaging, and without making it personal).
