In today's session, we welcome seasoned leader with over 30 years of experience in leadership and training, Pat D'Amico, to delve into the importance of leadership development and the common mistakes leaders make, particularly in the areas of interviewing, hiring, and coaching. Pat emphasizes the significance of coaching with a mindset that encourages employees to verbalize their thought processes, which is proven to be more effective than simply instructing them on what to do. He highlights the necessity for leaders to actively seek feedback from their teams, rather than relying on passive approaches like open-door policies or annual reviews, and provides actionable tips on how leaders can create opportunities for feedback that are both timely and constructive. Don’t miss out because we discuss everything you need to know about prioritizing the development of your team for success. Listen in and enjoy!
