Feedback, similar to recognition, plays an essential role in encouraging improved employee performance. When delivered effectively, feedback works to unlock an employee's full potential. Unfortunately, many leaders and team members are using outdated approaches, and offering feedback too infrequently to make a difference. In this episode, we share data-informed approaches that can drastically improve your feedback -- and your results. We explore the importance of normalizing frequent feedback, the role our talents & strengths play, and why building a culture of peer-to-peer feedback is under-estimated but becoming more important into today's workplace. Feedback should go beyond simply resolving issues. Instead, feedback should foster an environment of continuous improvement.
